rsync - Feb 2009 - rsync clear text while transfer & status mail

Hi everybody!

Since two months I tested a lot with rsync, and found out great things.
But I still have a question, maybe two.

1. Was it possible in earlier rsync versions (below version 2.7 I thing, where
the ssh option was not set as default) to read out the packets rsync sent? I
mean could you read data out of the blocks in clear text, or do you get only
ASCII code?

2. How can I get a status mail when rsync finished or canceled a job?

Thanks a lot!
David

LBackup supports sending status emails relating to backup jobs. You  
could simply look at the code this uses and customize it to your  
requirements. Alternatively, you could write your own script to send  
the status email. As far as I know sending emails is not really a job  
which rsync currently handles.
