His exact question was "how do I measure the speed while I am doing cp command?" I took the 'while' to mean 'as the cp command runs' aka progress during the transfer. As for benchmarking, when rsync finishes it prints out messages like: sent 17580260 bytes received 50 bytes 11720206.67 bytes/sec total size is 17577963 speedup is 1.00 That is perfect information for benchmarking. It gives how much was transferred and at what speed in bytes/second. ~S~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
