Is there a way to show the progress when running the cmp command?
Comparing large files or partitions using cmp can take a while.
I have searched google and used man cmp, but failed to find any useful information.
With the 'dd' command for example executing
kill -USR1 [pid_of_dd]
makes dd output its status in the console.
Is there a way to make cmp do something similar?
Thanks! Your answer is really useful for other commandline stuff as well. – Iljaas – 2011-11-24T08:34:57.953
