Is there a way to make mbsync differentiate between successful sync with and without changes?
I'd love to have diff(1) style exit codes: 0: success (with changes), 1: (errors), 2: success (no changes). I remember I was asking for bitfield style error codes to handle timeouts and retries better, but right now I'd be more pressed to speed up mail fetching by not re-indexing the maildir content if no change occurred during sync. I'd be prepared to modify mbsync myself if there is consensus on the behavior. To keep changes to a minimum, we could add a new flag to request the exit code of 2 when some syncing occurred. It could make sense to differentiate between master/slave changes, but to be honest having just a simple change flag would be more than enough for me. It seems you could just collect the status counters and just emit an exit status of 2 if any of them are non-zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
