- ysangkok 12y agoHow do you fire that signal from the console ?
- spoiler 12y agoBy using kill -s <Signal> <Process ID>
- koenigdavidmj 12y agopkill -USR1 dd You'll need to use ps to get the pid if you've got multiple dd instances running, and you'll of course need to run that as root if your dd instance is running as root.
- akshatpradhan 12y agoPersonally, I think the experience of typing ctrl+t is better than using pkill. Just 2 keyboard taps and you're done.
