In general reusing existing tools with wrappers is a useful technique, and often preferred over adding options to the tools themselves. Though in this case we thought it more appropriate to add the status=progress option to dd itself, as that has the added advantage of updating a single line: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=af2a4ed2 Note also the following related commit which make the handling of SIGUSR1 free from races. See the example in coreutils.texi in the following to avoid the startup races: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=27d2c738 The above two patches will be in the next coreutils release. thanks, Pádraig.
