monitoring status of dd



I had been searching for a way to monitor the status of a dd copy, and
finally did:

http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/06/show-progress-during-dd-copy.html

ps auwx|grep dd

kill -USR1 pid

watch -n 10 kil -USR1 pid

Using it now, and am really happy to finally see the status of its progress.
