rsync - Dec 2004 - [Bug 2130] New: suppressing progress bar when not the foreground process

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2130

           Summary: suppressing progress bar when not the foreground process
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: lukem@NetBSD.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


'rsync --progress'  always prints the dynamic progress information, even
if the
process is suspended and backgrounded or rsync is started in the background.
This causes the display of the current foreground process on the tty (or shell)
to be scrambled every second as the progress bar is updated.

The solution is to use tcgetpgrp() (on stdout) to verify that rsync is the
foreground process.  I'll provide a patch.
