Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users how to get the percentage of completion? during a copy! Post 302196360 by era on Sunday 18th of May 2008 03:16:59 AM

Some slow commands offer a hook to let you know how far they are getting. What are you using to copy the file?

Some versions of dd will report the transfer rate (the same report you get at the end) when you send them a SIGUSR1. So you could use dd to copy and signal it, say, once per second to get a progress report. Post-process it in your script to turn it into something user friendly.

NAME
mysqlbug - generate bug report SYNOPSIS
mysqlbug DESCRIPTION
This program enables you to generate a bug report and send it to Oracle Corporation. It is a shell script and runs on Unix. The normal way to report bugs is to visit http://bugs.mysql.com/, which is the address for our bugs database. This database is public and can be browsed and searched by anyone. If you log in to the system, you can enter new reports. If you have no Web access, you can generate a bug report by using the mysqlbug script. mysqlbug helps you generate a report by determining much of the following information automatically, but if something important is missing, please include it with your message. mysqlbug can be found in the scripts directory (source distribution) and in the bin directory under your MySQL installation directory (binary distribution). Invoke mysqlbug without arguments: shell> mysqlbug The script will place you in an editor with a copy of the report to be sent. Edit the lines near the beginning that indicate the nature of the problem. Then write the file to save your changes, quit the editor, and mysqlbug will send the report by email. COPYRIGHT
