How can I watch rclone progress/stats output that is being run in the background using Task Scheduler in Windows 10?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.3
- os/arch: windows/amd64
- go version: go1.15.5

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows 10 - 64bit

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

 rclone sync "C:/Users/XXX/google-drive" "gcrypt:/" --exclude node_modules/ --log-file "C:/Users/XXX/Documents/Rclone Latest Logs/rclone_$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss).log" --fast-list --verbose --stats 30s --progress```

What you want to do is "tail" the log. On unix you'd use the tail command but on Windows this should work in Powershell

Get-Content rclone.log -Wait
