A lot of people only know about its use for literally killing a process. But as an example of where I find myself using it fairly often is: kill -USR1 <dd> where <dd> is the process ID (obtained from ps) for the dd command. Instead of killing dd, it reports back how much has been read/copied so far. Especially useful for working with large files and you decide you want to guestimate how much longer the copy will take. |
