Keep track of diff progress

You're running a program that reads LOTS of files and takes a long time.

But it doesn't tell you about its progress.

First, run a command in the background, e.g.

find /usr/share/doc -type f -exec cat {} + > output_file.txt

Then run the watch command.

"watch -d" highlights the changes as they happen

In bash: $! is the process id (pid) of the last command run in the background.

You can change this to $(pidof my_command) to watch something in particular.

Keep track of diff progress

When running a long `diff -r` over folders, this simulates a "verbose" mode where you can see where diff is in the tree.

Replace $file with the first part of the path being compared.

Stores current working directory before exit and restores it on a new bash start

this command will add the following two lines into the ~/.bash_aliases:

alias exit='pwd > ~/.lastdir;exit'

[ -n "$(cat .lastdir 2>/dev/null)" ] && cd "$(cat .lastdir)"

or redirect it to the ~/.bashrc if you like

Donno, I find it usefull. You may also define an alias for 'cd ~' like - alias cdh='cd ~'

check the status of 'dd' in progress (OS X)

While a dd is running in one terminal, open another and enter the while loop. The sample output will be displayed in the window running the dd and the while loop will exit when the dd is complete. It's possible that a "sudo" will need to be inserted before "pkill", depending on your setup, for example:

while pgrep ^dd; do sudo pkill -INFO dd; sleep 10; done
