Monitor progress of coreutils commad like mv, cp etc

You can use command called “progress”. Other option is “pv” but that is little complicated so here is simpler option.

To install, you can do the following:

dnf install progress

function for copy files with progress bar (using pv – pipe viewer)

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      &nbsp;cp_p() { if [ `echo "$2" | grep ".*/$"` ]; then pv "$1" > "$2""$1"; else pv "$1" > "$2"/"$1"; fi; }
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

dont have to type new file name (it copy file under same name) and dont have to use ‘/’ in the end of destination folder (but you can if u want, its idiot proof)
