Monitor progress and ETA while running snort

Hi, I just wanted to share how I monitor progress and ETA while running snort from a pcap file. If I have only one pcap I use pipe viewer (the pv command) like this: pv x.pcap | snort -r - If I have more than one pcap, e.g. from a big tcpdump run, I merge all of them on the fly using joincap ( https://github.com/assafmo/joincap ) like this: joincap *.pcap | pv -s $(du -bc *.pcap | awk '/total/{print $1}') | snort -r - This way pv print progress and ETA information while snort is running. :-) Shameless plug - I wrote joincap specifically for these kind of situations, because mergecap and tcpslice does not handle errors very well.
