Linux: dd with progress
Raw
dd_progress.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Method 1
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null status=progress
# Method 2
# You just need to enter a controlT character from the keyboard while the dd command is executing.
# By pressing the controlT character, you are sending the same SIGINFO signal to the dd command
# that the command pkill -INFO -x dd sends.
# Method 3
dd if=/dev/urandom | pv | of=/dev/null
