So I have a shell script that basicly backs up one server to another server.  In the process I have to cp a very large directory (140GB) to another location, in the shell script I would love to have it run a real time stopwatch type counter starting from 0:00 as the files are copying.Possible?EDIT:  This is not a progress bar idea :)  Just a simple stopwatch timer so you can see how much time is elapsed, rather then the time until the pain is over :)
Is it possible to display a running timer in a shell script while copying a directory?
shell script;cp
