ok, give this one a try (untested... could maybe work in bash):
Code:
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mnt/backup/backupfile.dat & // background the process while ($!) // while the process is still running kill -SIGINFO $! // request info from the process sleep 1000 // wait a second wend this is somewhat experimental. i never tried this nor tested this script. It probably does not work at all, nor on all / any unix version. it should only give you some hints on how to do it. explanation: the script would background the copy ("dd") process. it should send a SIGINFO every one second, making "dd" output some information about the progress. no idea if it works though... as i said, just a hint. from my experience, bash scripting has always been some trial-and-error  ...hope this helps... M.
