Here's a weird one.

I have two Centos 8 machines that use rsync-over-ssh to back up files between 
each other.  (Each machine acts as a backup machine for the other one.)

There's are nightly cronjobs that do the backing up, the commands look like 
this:

rsync -av --delete /home/mydirectory jeff:/home/mydirectorybackup

That command works fine when it's run through the cronjob.

When I try to run a rsync command between mutt and jeff from the commandline, that's where the problem starts. It worked a few days ago but now when I log into jeff and do a rsync to or from mutt it works fine. When I log into mutt and do a rsync to or from jeff it works and does the job, but then it seems to stall afterward and I have to hit ctrl-c to get my cursor back.

Is there any chance that your shell is configured to emit anything to stderr or stdout when you logout of jeff? It's fairly rare, but I've seen logout messages mess up rsync before.
