* Major progress ticker bugfix/overhaul.Matthias Andree2009-05-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Progress tickers had been used inconsistently for a long time, and documentation was outdated, too. Factor out common code to ease maintenance, use the report_flush() function, and add and use a macro (want_progress()) to determine if progress ticker output is desired. This makes for a much more consistent look on screen and in logfiles and should be much easier to fix later on. TODO: test syslog output. svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5290

* Improve documentation: --logfile requires --daemon modeMatthias Andree2008-07-081-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Make this clearer, and document that --daemon is the wait interval after completing a cycle before starting the next, so that poll time count towards the interval. Also take a note to make logfile more useful (used more often). svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5216
