Using pv in conjunction with cp
If I am copying a huge file and I want to monitor the progress what is the best way to do it. I tried doing...
$ cp file /dir | pv -b and $ pv -b| cp file /dir but, all I would get was <0B> listed no matter how much of the file had been copied. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike |
