Actually, we're not running bash, I just have rsync.exe and the necessary Cygwin dll's in one folder and run everything in CMD.EXE. I will however look into CMD.EXE's capabilities of redirecting everything to a file, but I'll probably (once again) will run into the limits of using Win32, because I don't think it has STDOUT and STDERR as in Unix.
Thank you!

The shell is responsible for redirection, not rsync. I'm guessing that you are running bash. Look at the section entitled 'REDIRECTION' in the bash manpage. It does better job than i could here. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
