Re: This is great!

If rsync -- or any tool -- outputs a percentage, it should be quite simple to write a bash script reads from a pipe, creates an entry in the uiserver and updates it. An example tool I can think of right now is cmake & KDE's own build.

How cool would it be to see the KDE build percentage progress in the uiserver? :-)

If you need to implement actions like "pause", "cancel", etc., you will find that bash+qdbus won't suffice. Scripting languages like QtScript, Ruby or Python will come in handy then.
