A target value 2. A command to inspect the current progress value eta will execute the given command once every second, look for the first number in the commands output, and estimate the time until it reaches the given target value . When using --cont , command runs continuously, and eta will read the output line by line to determine progress. See man page for full documentation. Installation Ubuntu 22.04+ sudo apt install eta Ubuntu (older versions) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aioobe/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install eta Other Download repo, build and install manually: make make install Example Usage Example 1: File copy Use du -bs to monitor the size of a directory. To avoid running an ssh command every second, you can lower the rate with --interval or use --cont and a single ssh invocation with a while loop. (Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the use of --cont .) Example 2: Monitor file count Use ls wc -l to monitor the number of files in a directory. If the resized directory is initially non empty, you can use --start initial which tells eta to use the first value read (instead of 0) as the 0% progress value. Example 3: Tailing a log With --cont the progress command is kept running, and the progress is determined by reading the output line by line continuously. Example 4: Counting lines You can use cat -n to add line numbers to the output of a ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/aioobe","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/aioobe/eta/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
