Ok i had to try a few times and now with tcpkeepalive being turned on it doesnt disconnect. But when the scan is done, it 'reconciles' the changes (so it has received the changes from the remote end) and Begins the transfer of a dozen files, but not a bit is transfered. The sshd and unison process on the remote host are waiting/sleeping or in coma, but nothing happens. I just tried again and let it sit on the transfer to see if the processes would wake up, but it read from remote host that connection timed out. I'm not sure but this may be due to the fact i'm on an unstable link... I'll try once more with a ssh session on the side to see if that session will get disconnected or not... It would be so nice if unison could 'remember' the changes on my HD against its local archive... anyway... Thanks, Simon
