This is similar to standard `pv`, but it retains the rate history instead of only showing the current rate. This is useful for spotting changes. To do this, -f is used to force pv to output, and stderr is redirected to stdout so that `tr` can swap the carriage returns for new lines. (doesn't work correctly is in zsh for some reason. Tail's output isn't redirected to /dev/null like it is in bash. anyone know why? ???????) Show Sample Output

Will delete empty directories and sub-directories (hideen too = whose names are starting with dot .). Used 'rm' command instead of 'rmdir' to give the possibility of asking for confirmation before deleting i.e. it is not wise do delete all empty directories in /etc folder. Replace dot in 'find .' with any for other starting directory instead of current. in 'rm -i -R' 'i' stands for ask before delete and 'R' for delete folder recursively or folder itself if it is empty
