rsync - Sep 2009 - Status of running rsync

Hi

Is there a way to get the status of a running rsync process? I believe
it has to be done by sending a signal, but I can't find it anymore. I'd
like to find out if a rsync process is hung or just transferring a lot of
data.
This is rsync 3.0.3(I think pre1) on a NAS with BusyBox.

Thanks

AFAIK, rsync has never had such a feature.  One thing you can do is
temporarily attach strace.

Maybe you're thinking of dd, which prints its status when it receives
SIGUSR1.

Too bad. I don't know if strace would help on the NAS. I guess I'll just
give it some more time before I kill it. Then I can still restart it with -v.

I don't know anymore what tool it was, just that I used it before.
Would be a nice addition to rsync though :)
