Execute command with progress about progress HOT 3 CLOSED

The shell is probably better than us for this, I think:
cp -a /media/cdrom/x /storage/c/ & progress -mp $! (it's one of our example in the readme)

from progress.

There are some quirky scenarios, such as usage by ssh, sudo where a single command works better. Hence requested.

from progress.

you can use bash -c 'cp -a /media/cdrom/x /storage/c/ & progress -mp $!' and that will give you just one command. I vote on closing this down as your use case is covered and implementing an alternative solution along your request would make this software much more complex, unnecessarily.
