From Roland Kletzing <Roland.Kletzing@cybercon.de> in 2016 hello, is there a way to print the current "lines per second" rate line by line, to be able to log it into a file? unfortunately, i don`t find any option. wht comes close is adding -b -n , but it`s not lines/sec i get but absolute line number counted so far. this is the command i use for testing: find / | pv -i1 -lr >/dev/null i`d like output like this: [root@backupvm1 zfspool]# find / |pv -i1 -lrbn >/dev/null 238k/s 407k/s 231k/s ... is this possible somehow or is this a missing feature ? ---- There is currently no way to do this with PV. I tried passing a target number of lines with "-s" so that the output was in percent, which might help, but that seems to be buggy when we go past 100%. Perhaps if "-l" and "-r" were both given, then lines/sec should be output. I will add this to the TODO list. Do you have a web site I can link to in the acknowledgements section of the documentation? ---- thanks very much. please, if you like to add me to the ack. section just put in my name without anything else. regards roland
