Does it behave any differently when adding a & at the end of the command
when running it manually, or running in a screen session?

Here's a weird one.
I have two Centos 8 machines that use rsync-over-ssh to back up files between
each other. (Each machine acts as a backup machine for the other one.)
There's are nightly cronjobs that do the backing up, the commands look like
this:
rsync -av --delete /home/mydirectory jeff:/home/mydirectorybackup
That command works fine when it's run through the cronjob.
When I try to run a rsync command between mutt and jeff from the commandline,
that's where the problem starts. It worked a few days ago but now when I log
into jeff and do a rsync to or from mutt it works fine. When I log into mutt
and do a rsync to or from jeff it works and does the job, but then it seems to
stall afterward and I have to hit ctrl-c to get my cursor back.
Here's a test run so you can see what happens.
[me@mutt temp]$ rsync -avv ../temp/ jeff:temp
opening connection using: ssh jeff rsync --server -vvlogDtpre.iLsfxC . temp (7
args)
sending incremental file list
delta-transmission enabled
bookmarks.html is uptodate

^Crsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(644)
[sender=3.1.3]
A file named bookmarks.html existed in both directories so it wasn't changed,
and a new file abc was copied to the backup directory. Then my ctrl-c stopped
the job and brought the cursor back after it stalled.
scp works fine to copy files either way when logged into either machine and,
again, my backup-this-to-that cronjobs that run rsync seem to be working fine
as well. I just discovered this last night when I went to rsync some files
manually between these machines. The last time I did that was at least a few
days ago and it worked fine then.
