[Radiance-general] rpict progress status

[Christopher Rush]

Lucio, If you add "-t [time in seconds]" to your rpict command line it
will periodically report the progress as the calculation runs.  The same
result can be had by adding the line "REPORT= [time in minutes]" to your
rif file.  Alternatively, if you prefer not to clutter your terminal,
you can pause the process "<ctrl-z>" and bring it back to the foreground
"fg <enter>" and it should report the progress once.

Hey, it looks like I'm quite monopolizing this mailing list.. I'm
sorry.. !! 

Some time ago, if I didn't just dream it, I run into some explanation on
how to monitor rpict progress status. If I remember well, it was
achieved with a light kill message to rpict process. In fact when
killing it, it returns the rpict progress. It was a way to achieve same
information without actually killing it. I thought I found this
information in Axel Jacobs' tutorials, but I'm not able to find it any
more.

Can someone help me ?

Lucio
