Control+T in Terminal shows time snapshot
I didn't know this either until a minute ago, but this is a standard feature of unix terminals. Ctrl-T is a special character (take a look at man termios, under Special Characters, STATUS) that sends a SIGINFO signal to the current process (which causes utilities like dd to print their current progress) and prints the current load to the terminal. This should work on any version of Mac OS X, as well as FreeBSD, OpenBSD and pretty much anything derived from the original BSD Unix, but as far as I can tell not on Linux.

It isn't really a standard feauture -- it's only available on BSD-flavoured *nix'es.

No, Linux has this feature too. At least Debian (hence Ubuntu too), but I think any Linux distro has it. Edited on Jan 30, '12 02:04:59PM by wallybear

I've never seen this in Debian. I've always bemoaned its absence. |
