how to have a cp progress bar?
Hi all,
This is a reformed post to my earlier ones!!!!!!
I would like to know how to include a progress bar while using the cp...
I am copying a few huge files from cdrom but am unable to figure out ,how to give a progress bar!!!!!
I checked out other sites as well,but the issue here is that,this cp is happenning in one of the boot scripts during boot time!!!
So i cannot have other explicit executable scripts that run within an already running script, also i tried converting some script to functions and passing these files as args,but didnt work!!!!
So could you pls give out some scripts (plain scripts) that do the job?
Thanks

systemd-rc-local-generator
SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8) systemd-rc-local-generator SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local during boot and shutdown
SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether /etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script during late boot. Note that the script will
be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept
that does not translate to systemd. The script is run after network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system services.
systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the halt-local.service
unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown.
Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is
strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for
any scripts to run during the boot or shutdown processes.
systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
