Pim,

just a thought, but when the using the --empeg-progress option, can you get it do one of the following when its finished :-

1. clear the screen (boring)
2. display a finished message
3. display the stats that are on the terminal window on the empeg screen (my favourite option).

Btw, when I run it telnet'ed into the empeg, I run out of virtual memory (even though I used your script that activates swap). I'm assuming that the amount of swap space is has isn't much, and that the fact the player app is still running is consuming most of the memory?

Would you only advise running the rsync from hyperterminal and not via telnet?

Thanks
