It would be nice if there were a flag which would have rsync behave like a single -v but which would skip the two line summary info. I do a lot of cron-based transfers and I want to see what gets transferred if anything does, but I'd like it to be entirely silent otherwise.
Here is a patch which makes a single -v behave this way. -vv causes it to include the extra info. diff -r -X /home/roderick/.diff-exclude -u rsync-2.5.5.debian/flist.c rsync-2.5.5/flist.c --- rsync-2.5.5.debian/flist.c Thu Mar 14 16:20:20 2002 +++ rsync-2.5.5/flist.c Wed Jul 31 09:13:10 2002 @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ static int show_filelist_p(void) { - return verbose && recurse && !am_server; + return verbose > 1 && recurse && !am_server; } static void start_filelist_progress(char *kind) diff -r -X /home/roderick/.diff-exclude -u rsync-2.5.5.debian/main.c rsync-2.5.5/main.c --- rsync-2.5.5.debian/main.c Wed Mar 27 00:10:44 2002 +++ rsync-2.5.5/main.c Wed Jul 31 09:13:10 2002 @@ -118,7 +118,7 @@ (double)stats.total_read); } - if (verbose || do_stats) { + if (verbose > 1 || do_stats) { rprintf(FINFO,"wrote %.0f bytes read %.0f bytes %.2f bytes/sec\n", (double)stats.total_written, (double)stats.total_read, diff -r -X /home/roderick/.diff-exclude -u rsync-2.5.5.debian/rsync.1 rsync-2.5.5/rsync.1 --- rsync-2.5.5.debian/rsync.1 Wed Feb 6 16:21:19 2002 +++ rsync-2.5.5/rsync.1 Wed Jul 31 09:13:10 2002 @@ -338,9 +338,9 @@ This option increases the amount of information you are given during the transfer\&.
