dd status by USR1

2 down vote


dd does provide progress information - well most versions in linux. I've seen some which don't but don't recall the unix flavour.

The man page says: Sending a USR1 signal to a running ‘dd’ process makes it print I/O statistics to standard error and then resume copying.

I use this feature regularly.
