How to know what rclone is doing now through SSH

Help and Support

Hey there,

I'm using rclone on a shared seedbox and I have to use SSH to mount and monitor the upload status. If I ever lose my SSH connection, how can I go back to the rclone running -vv monitoring? So I can know in detail what it is doing now? Thanks a bunch!

If you start the rclone with the --rc flag, then rclone will run the remote control server. You can then use rclone rc to query that rclone. There are various web frontends you can attach to it also.

thanks for the tip but I'm not finding the right thing I'm afraid. I mounted with the --rc flag and I tried attaching some frontends to it like rclone rc cache/statistic and others but I haven't found the one that shows a running debug of up-to-date status. Like, is rclone writing .partials is it sending chunks to gdrive, is it scanning a library? Those I'm interested in.

EDIT: Ah, I figured it out, just used tmux in SSH to make a background rclone session that I can come back to even after disconnecting from SSH.
