Ok I wrote a wrapper and check stdout of critical commands. If I get
returnvalue 0 but not expectet stdout I panic. As far as my critical
part is rsync that is a safe bet (there is a nice footer when rsync
was not interrupted).

As far as robustness is concerned I must say I am happy having found
this edge very early.

What do you think is that topic worth an entry in FAQ/Documentation?
On the other hand this thread will be found through google search...

Thanks again for being supportive and all your work!
