Use pv with find -exec












1















I use the following command to verify ~700 GiB of backed-up files:



$ find -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort > ~/checksums


This takes many hours, so I would like to integrate pv into the command to show the progress.



I could do this:



$ find -type f -exec pv {} + | md5sum


But it concatenates all of the files, resulting in only one checksum.



So how could I include pv and still get a text file full of checksums at the end?






find checksum pv

          Your first command should not be able to run at all as you can't use a pipe in an -exec like that (this was apparently a typo in the original question).



          Instead:



          find . -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort -o ~/checksums


          or, with pv,



          find . -type f -exec md5sum {} + | pv | sort -o ~/checksums


          In both of the above, md5sum would be called with as many pathnames as possible in batches. sort would take the output of find (which is the output of md5sum) and sort it into the given filename. The second variation additionally inserts pv between the find and the sort.



          You can't use -exec pv {} | md5sum for individual files as the pipe would need to be embedded in a in-line shell script that you call from -exec for each file. But even the correct -exec sh -c 'pv "$1" | md5sum' sh {} ; would discard the filename from the generated md5sum output, so that can't be used either. The pv utility acts like a drop-in replacement for cat.

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
