  8. The 'pv' #Linux utility is quite nice as you can track any process read process with the -d option. But what if it is not installed?

    p=long_run_prog_name; while pgrep $p >/dev/null; do echo $(date -Isec) $(awk -v s=$(stat -c %s infile) '/pos/{printf "%.3f %%\n", 100*$2/s}' $(eval echo /proc/{$(pgrep -d, $p)}/fdinfo/3) ); sleep 30;done

    'infile' is the file read on file descriptor 3 (after fdinfo)

    output for two proceeses:

    2026-03-09T19:20:15+02:00 40.552 % 44.543 %

  28. Woops, deleted the wrong file, heres some file recovery tips.... the 2nd one i wish i found MUCH sooner.

    i tried both #PhotoRec and ext4magic.

    PhotoRec seems more suited to files with header types that can be detected easily, like images. it seems that if youve lost a text file with bits of what look like binary in them, you may not find it with PhotoRec, but do try it if desperate. PhotoRec is part of the #testdisk package.
