Progress Bar for commands in Linux

I don't have any, and I rather doubt anyone else will, but please do not dual-post. Your duplicate post has been deleted.

You would have to modify the source and recompile each shell command to get a progress bar, if it is not implemented in the original. Some commands may have a flag (such as [b]-h[/b] or [b]--hash[/b] for [b]rpm[/b]) to show progress.

Hi I didnt double post for some reason it happened like that I think I was double clicking since it took longer time to actually posting the question


I found out there are tools out there such as bar but they works only for specifc command like copying and stuff not the command progress I will try those options and keep looking
