How to check status after "dnetc -install"

[office boy]

Just wondering, because one of the computers I installed the client on I have to use sneaky (thanks Polo) with, and I really have no idea when it will be done with it's work...

If you set it up to do a log file, you could look at that.
It'll be a little behind, but will show the last block done.

Add this to your dnetc.ini file if you don't have logging turned on.

[logging]
log-file-limit=100kb
log-file=XXXXXX.log
log-file-type=fifo

This is also handy if running in quite mode.
It'll restart your client whenever there is a dnetc.ini change.

[triggers]
restart-on-config-file-change=yes

Also, don't forget dnetc -svcstart afterwards or the client won't start until the next reboot.

If you don't want to log, you can also check the size of the buff-in.rc5 file. When empty size=8.
If there are packets in the file you can compute (Size_Of_'Buff-in.Rc5' - 8) / 124 = Nb_Of_Packets_Remaining_In_'InBuff-in.rc5'.
Ex: If the size of your buff-in.rc5 equals 3480 then there are (3480 - 8)/124=28 packets remaining in the file. (A packet can contain 1 to 32 blocks).

Hope this helps.
