It's SIGUSR1 on Linux, however there is no signal bound to ^T in Linux, nor is it apparently possible to bind new ones.

`killall -USR1 dd` works like a charm, or for the impatient: watch killall -USR1 dd

This example highlights a very useful alternative function of `watch`: to simply run a command on regular intervals without caring about the output.

Yea, but its a pain to open another tab and run another command and switch back to this tab to see the progress.

Why they didn't give a progress bar in the first place beats me.
