Rundown of my backup setup, and a suggestion

Just implemented this in my code (In the laziest, most pathetic way: I check if "$(rclone rc vfs/stats|grep uploads|grep -v 0)"

Looks good to me

I just wanted to say "thank you" again for pointing out that there is a simple way to monitor the process. Works wonderfully.

On interesting bit I ran into is that I had to drop --daemon. If you pass both --rc and --daemon, the mount never actually happens. It just launches the remote control and sits there until you close it. So long as you don't use --daemon, it works great. If this is intended behavior, it might be worth mentioning in the docs for daemon mode.

I think there is a bug report for that already... See this issue for the master list of all the things that could be fixed with --daemon!

mount: improve implementation of --daemon mode

It is actually quite difficult to daemonize Go programs and there are loads of corner cases. My preference is to use something like systemd instead.
