I was using pscp (PuTTY scp) to copy a tar backup from a Windows machine to a Linux one. I wanted to check on the progress periodically, but didn't want a scrolling wall of text (which is distracting when you're trying to play Skyrim on another display) and didn't want to have to keep running a command over and over (having to take your hands off the controller is also annoying).

This is the best I could come up with for the time being:

for i in {1..10000}; do
    clear; 
    print $( du -hs /data/dbb_persephone_20140401.tar ); 
    sleep 10s; 
done

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why they decided to use capital letters in directory names?
I suppose camel case makes sense for readability with multi-word names, but to me it would also be kind of a pain on the command line. I see myself constantly typing, for instance, /pro<TAB> only to have zsh's correction ask me if I meant Programs.
Whenever I create directories, I always try to use digits and lowercase letters *only*, unless it's absolutely necessary. I think this habit was ingrained in me by TLDP or something similar when I first started using Linux.

Git website notes

Problem 1: couldn't use the host defined in my ~/.ssh/config. Had to be explicit path to server including port.

Problem 2: git-receive-pack wasn't in $PATH on my server. This was fixed with:

git config remote.web.receivepack /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git-receive-pack

with origin as the default GitHub remote, and web the host server.

Problem 3: "refusing to update checked out branch". This is fixed by pushing to a bare repo on the server, then creating a post receive hook to check out the branch with your site's root as the work tree, detailed here: http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto
