Get synchronization status

[Neutro]

Hello guys,

First thanks a lot for this great software!

I would like to use it in my company to help our mobile users to sync their data when they are connected to our VPN.

In this goal i would like to develop a software that displays on the computer of the users the status of the synchronization to help them know if their data are backed up or if they need to connect to the VPN to finish to sync.

The problem is that FreeFileSync only creates log files when the sync is finished, so I have no way to display to the users that a sync is in progress and that they should not disconnect the computer from the VPN or power it off.

Could anyone help me with this problem?

PS: i will share the software i will develop with you for free if I can find a way to make it work :)

FFS already has such capability built in.

If you are in a situation where you're running FFS under the context of a different user you might want to look into Sysinternals' PsExec (part of PsTools & Sysinternals Suite).

The aspect you'd be looking for is the -i switch

 -i    Run the program so that it interacts with the desktop of the
       specified session on the remote system. If no session is
       specified the process runs in the console session.


it should read remote (or local) system as it works on either

Thanks for your answer drivetheory but i can't find these capabilities. I read all the manual.

And i'm using FFS under the context of the current user.
