I like his tastes quite well! Apparently I know some obscure
Unix tools! :-) And better still, I am not familiar with all of them.
I'll add 'pv' to the list. Great way to watch progress if you are using
zcat/cat to pipe something somewhere.
For example, got a database dump? 'cat db.sql | pv | yoursqlengine'
You get a nice progress bar and estimation of time to complete,
autoscaling speed. Lots of other options too.
