[Bug 64067] Re: a progress bar for 'cp' and 'mv'
For the record, the RH bug has been closed WONTFIX, here you have
Ondrej's comment:
"Time to close that bugzilla...
Discussed many times on upstream list (see archives),
in bugzillas of other linux distributions (e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/64067
http://www.linux-archive.org/archlinux-development/167447-add-g-option-cp-mv.html
)
If you really want to have this behaviour, you could use some shell script
alias to get this. One of such scripts is available at
http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/
. Closing WONTFIX."
I will keep this bug open only because upstream will look at a
*generic*, usable-everywhere solution. But -- unless you intend to code
it, please do not expect any coreutils-implemented solution anytime soon
(if at all). There are other ways of getting it (see Ondrej's comment
above.
** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
