File transfer status in rxvt-unicode?

brewforce · 2012-03-04 02:35:22

Hello,
I had mounted a cifs and had been copying some movies from one of my computers to another through the terminal (mount -t cifs comp1:/share/ ~/somemntpoint) and I realized that I had no idea about the status of the file transfer. Is there an additional package or some other way to display the status of a file transfer (mv or cp) in rxvt-unicode? I am just looking for something similar to the status bar you get when you use pacman ( [###-------------]).

After poking around the internet and the arch forums for a bit I was unable to find a solution. Hopefully this is not a stupid question.

You could have started with mv -v pr cp -v. Really doesn't matter what terminal emulator you use. Other than that I have no clue. You could check documentation for mv and cp to see if they respond to signals, although a quick browse didn't have any luck.

alias cp='cp -v'
alias mv='mv -v'

I have this in my ~/.bashrc for this reason.

Sorry, I also have aliases for mv/cp -v in my bashrc. I would have imagined there would be an optional package or an additional switch that enables this functionality. I will continue the search.

Thanks, I'll have to take a closer look later. I'll post a reply with some inserts to show what it looks like.
