hi, since potato's rsync seems not to support the --bwlimit flag, and i am looking for a general solution anyway, let me ask you this:
do you know of a tool that let's you limit the bandwidth in and out of a process? i envision something like nice (without renice though), so that you'd call something like bwlimit 4k /usr/local/bin/myprocess and all myprocess would ever get was 4kbps of network bandwidth. i *don't* want to use the kernel traffic shaper, and i a per-host configuration is not ideal either. is there such a tool? if not, i might well have to write it... *but*... is it at all possible? it would have to intercept and relay the bsd socket functions, which might not be an easy task. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 1-800-psych hello, welcome to the psychiatric hotline. if you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
