I just tried a bunch of stuff like that with no result, and then I tried reading statusbar(8) again. The example given involves hget -v. =46rom hget(1): Option -v writes progress lines to standard error once a second. Each line contains two numbers, the bytes trans- ferred so far and the total length to be transferred. That's the kind of input statusbar wants. It makes sense when you know about it. :) I suppose it's not a complete replacement for pv but you could fill in the rest with du and looping over a 1kb dd. --=20 This is obviously some strange usage of the=20 word "simple" that I was previously unaware of.
