Command to output ones (like zero-fill), with progress indicator
Well, I was originally going to post this snippet in the original thread titled "how to output ones endlessly like /dev/zero", but that topic was closed without an efficient answer.
This command seems to get me about 500MByte/min, though this is with a 1.5TB 'green' drive running only at 5400rpm so I imagine it'd be faster in most other cases.
I'm looking for a way in Korn shell to zero fill (or space fill) the output from df so that it will sort properly.
"Raw" output from df -k:
df -k

Can anybody suggest you a good script to show progress of a process.
I figured it out some thing like this. But cursor goes to the end of the line and after every loop it goes to the next line.
while true ; do
for i in \| \/ \- \\ \| \/ \- \\
do
echo "\b\b$i \c"
sleep 1
done

Hi,
I want to use zenity --progress and also put the output to the terminal.
I tried using the tee command but that puts the output to the terminal first and then shows the zenity progress dialog.

mount_pcfs
mount_pcfs(1M) System Administration Commands mount_pcfs(1M)NAME
mount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] special | mount_point
mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] special mount_point
DESCRIPTION
mount attaches an MS-DOS file system (pcfs) to the file system hierarchy at the mount_point, which is the pathname of a directory. If
mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these are hidden until the file system is unmounted.
If mount is invoked with special or mount_point as the only arguments, mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the missing arguments,
including the FSType-specific_options; see mount(1M) for more details.
The special argument can be one of two special device file types:
o A floppy disk, such as /dev/diskette0 or /dev/diskette1.
o A DOS logical drive on a hard disk expressed as device-name:logical-drive , where device-name specifies the special block device-file
for the whole disk and logical-drive is either a drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24). Examples are
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.
The special device file type must have a formatted MS-DOS file system with either a 12-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit File Allocation Table.
OPTIONS
generic_options
See mount(1M) for the list of supported options.
-o
Specify pcfs file system specific options. The following options are supported:
foldcase|nofoldcase
Force uppercase characters in filenames to lowercase when reading them from the filesystem. This is for compatibility with the pre-
vious behavior of pcfs. The default is nofoldcase.
FILES
/etc/mnttab table of mounted file systems
/etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each file system

If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which the sym-
bolic link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link itself.
