Increase verbosity of running rsync process?

rated 0 times [ 14] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 80717 / 2 Years ago, fri, january 28, 2022, 3:41:59

I'm running 'rsync -a -i /foo /bar'. Every now and then I would like to know what exactly rsync is doing at the moment without having the -v output all the time. Is it possible to increase the verbosity of running processes e.g. by sending a kill signal?

I would redirect the output in a file and then tail -f to see the output when desired:

rsync -a /foo /bar >/tmp/rsync.log 2>&1

when needed:

tail -f /tmp/rsync.log
