'tee' device: Can i pipe to a FIFO and sample the data when i wish

I am piping a sequence through a PIPE to another program (mkfifo) on Linux. Is there a way for me to sample the data being read, periodically and see what's going on?

seq 99999999 -1 00000000 >/tmp/foo pyrit -r cap/ZUTUMS-01.cap -i /tmp/foo attack_passthrough

How do i see where i am in the sequence whenever I feel like it. I don't want to write to disk or stdout. I could use strace but that's overkill.

I would recommend to use Pipe Viewer

It can give you such info as:

  • Time elapsed
  • Percentage completed (with progress bar)
  • Current throughput rate
  • Total data transferred
  • ETA
