[Bug 7120] Variable bandwidth limit .. bwlimit

[devzero at web.de]

or better try pipe viewer. it seems less buggy (kill -SIGUSR1 $PIDOFTHROTTLE doesn't work for me) , has realtime progress and there is a homepage and maintainer ( http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml )

linux-rqru:/tmp # cat /tmp/pv-wrapper
#!/bin/bash
pv -L 1000 | "$@"

Adjust Transfer-Rate:

pv -R $PIDOFPV -L RATE

linux-rqru:/tmp # rsync --rsh='/tmp/pv-wrapper ssh' -a /proc root at localhost:/tmp/test

mhh - interesting question......

what about combining the power of throttle ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/throttle ) or similar tools (there are some more like this) with rsync ?

via this hint: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-February/014623.html i got a clue how to combine rsync and throttle and gave it a try :

cat throttle-wrap
#!/bin/bash
throttle -k 1 -s 1| "$@"

rsync --rsh='/tmp/throttle-wrap ssh' -avz /src  user at host:/dest 

seems to work fine for me, but mind that throttle needs -s 1 as this seems to circumvent the buffering problem. 

not sure about the maximum bandwidth you can reach with that and how good you really can adjust the bandwith, so please report your findings......

If that is a useful option, can someone please put this into the bugzilla entry?

regards
Roland

Hi,
just a note, due to the fact I am also looking forward for this feature.

I see two options regarding usability and scritablility. :)

1# Piping (not used up to now)

mkfifo /tmp/bla
echo "1000" > /tmp/bla

cat /tmp/bla | rsync ... --bwlimit-stdin ...

changing by just write to the fifo
echo "50" > /tmp/bla


2# file and signal

mktemp > /tmp/bla2
echo "1000" > /tmp/bla2
rsync ... -bwlimit-from=/tmp/bla2 .... &
RSYNCPID=$!
echo "50" > /tmp/bla2
kill -USR1 ${RSYNCPID}

hope the thinking helps.
Me.
