mirrordir has a verbose option that shows you exactly what it is doing.  I
agree that some utilities do not have a verbose option (or a good one) and
you may find yourself wondering if it is working at all.  One of the utils
I have used to do backups, besides mirrordir, is like that.

I have never looked, but there may be one with a graphical interface out
there somewhere which would show you its progress as it goes.

Me also.  It turned out that samba had been updated to fix some security
holes and the OS/2 Warp 4 version of Windows networking was no longer
compatible with it.  :(
