[SUGGESTION] timed backups
jls:
;D
curaga:
You can do that via cron, su tc -c "filetool.sh -b", IIRC.
tinypoodle:
Not sure but I had first interpreted the title of thread as showing a timer during backup (like a stop watch).
Perhaps I was prejudiced as recently I had done some benchmarking on backup, including recompressing it with various algorhythms and comparing time and compression rate.
Actually I would love to have something like a stop watch timer to be used for any purpose.
tinypoodle:
I didn't have ETA in mind, but a timer like a stopwatch to accurately measure time of some task.
bash script sounds good, except for me not having enough knowledge, and none whatsoever about that mystery syntax involved with awk :P
Perhaps 'watch' could be used instead of 'echo'?
tinypoodle:
Very nice!
First the aterm poofed when stopping, now after you edited I see it can work accumulative ;D
Found another approach in the meantime:
--- Code: ---time -v filetool.sh backup
--- End code ---
(this would probably only be useful for CLI commands)
