Show progress bar when copying moves on the command line

From:here

"The world's most painful thing is waiting," I believe that the use of the shell in the CP or MV command to operate large files of friends have this feeling. It would be nice to be able to show the progress of copying or moving, and to turn endless waiting into limited anticipation. Actually, there is a way to show the progress bar, and there are more than one method: using patched cp and mv:advanced Copy
