How to get -P and history on the screen and the log file simultaneously

[ioorclone]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I would like to be able to get rclone to log a history to a file but also to show this same history along with the current progress on the screen at the same time.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.0-DEV

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

Linux, Android

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

pCloud

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

rclone sync /path remote:/path -P 2>&1 | tee "/home/oem/Logs/rclone/teeTest.log"

Using the above command, definitely doesn't do what I want, it scrolls (rather than updates) the progress indicator every second in both the log and the screen.

Basically I would like the output of:

rclone sync /path remote:/path -P 2>&1

mirrored to the log file as well with the same format. The progress in updated in place at the bottom on the screen, as a file is completed it is logged above the progress indicator scrolling up the screen. Is something like this possible?

• If I add the --log-file option it redirects the history part of the display to the log file.
• If I add the tee redirect it messes up the -P on the screen.
• If I remove the -P I lost all the current status indication.

Is my 2>&1 redirect command wrong? I followed the thread here:

--log-file and --stats simultaneously

Thanks for your help! Yes the “remote”:“folder” is confusing it. When I replaced it with “remote:folder” it’s working ! I don’t have the error: Command sync needs 2 arguments maximum and rclone is doing the sync. So we are making progress, but… … rclone doesn’t create the "C:\Users\user\Desktop\My Documents\log.log". I tried creating the file log.log and then see if rclone would edit it, but no, it doens’t. After the sync, log.log is still empty. I verified the path and it’s the right one. …

Is rclone capable of doing this without using the redirection? I am able to do accomplish something like this with rcyns and I would like to do it with rclone as well.
