I've been using a unixlike system with either a terminal or terminal emulator every day for 24 years, and I only just now learned that pressing Ctrl-T in xterm sends the SIGINFO signal, allowing me to check the progress of a long-running dd command.
@arielmt only on BSDish systems! linux has yet to gain this feature last we checked
I've been told this is only on the BSDs and the like. Are Linux terminals missing this feature and/or set up differently?
