Copy Progress Bar Shell Script

Copy Progress Bar Shell Script

This script not replaces cp command. This is a sample script for practice purpose.
I am going to develop more elegant script, which fulfil most of the cp command strengths.
I will post complete version of the script as soon as possible,
I shall really appreciate all comments and suggestions to improve this script.

#!/bin/bash
#
# SCRIPT: ddcopy_progress.sh
# PURPOSE: This script is used to watch progress of copying.
#
# Note: I am using destination file as $$.temp .This is because,
# after testing you can easily delete temp files using
# rm -f *.temp

if [ $# -ne 1 ] # Look for exactly one parameter
then
 echo "..............Usage Error........."
 echo "Usage: $0 Sourcefil"
 exit 1
fi

if [ ! -e $1 ] # Check source file exist or not
then
 echo "File $1 not exist"
 exit 1
fi

Seek=0 # Skip BLOCKS bs-sized blocks at start of output
Skip=0 # Skip BLOCKS bs-sized blocks at start of input
Bsize=128000 # Block size
size=`stat -c %s $1`
blocks=$((size/Bsize)) # Total blocks of input file

lastblock=$((size%Bsize)) # Last block, which size < $Bsize

# If last block size is > 0 then add 1 block to existing blocks.

if [ $lastblock -gt 0 ]
then
 let blocks++
fi

# I am dividing screen width 60 as 20 parts.Each part is filled with color
# after each iteration.

# Make blocks count dividable by 20.

addblocks=$((blocks%20))
if [ $addblocks -gt 0 ]
then
 adjustblocks=$((20-addblocks))
 blocks=$((blocks+adjustblocks))
fi

Count=$((blocks/20))

# Count variable contain number of blocks to be copied for each iteration

printf "e[40me[43m%60s e[A" " "

for ((i=1;i<=20;i++))
do

 dd if=$1 of=$$.temp bs=128kB seek=$Seek skip=$Skip count=$Count 2>/dev/null
 Skip=$((Skip+$Count))
 Seek=$((Seek+$Count))
 j=$((j+3)) # 60/20 each part is 3 chars length
 printf "e[40me[7m%${j}s e[A" " "
# echo -e "33[7m c"

done

Observation:
I tested above script with different block count.But I didnt get accurate result.
Some times less count script given good result, some times more block count given
good result.
I copied 1.8 GB Movie file with this script.With time command it has give bellow
result.

real 1m12.646s
user 0m0.043s
sys 0m7.854s

From my observation this script has taken less time compared with mouse copy and
paste method. Copy and paste has taken 1m14.02s averagely.
