The dustmite wiki[0] lists the following example script for use to monitor the reduction progress:

> #!/bin/sh
> watch -cn 0.1 "zsh -c 'ls -al $1.reduced/**/*.d ; colordiff -ru $1.reduced $1.test'"

This repeatedly compares the $1.reduced directory with a $1.test directory. The dustmite run however doesn't seem to produce a (stable) $1.test, only several $1.lookahead.* directories.

The command used was `dustmite -j2 --strip-comments source /abs/path/to/tester`. I'm limiting the number of jobs to 2 so as not to run out of memory. dmd is a bit unreasonable.

Why is there no .test directory? Changing the script to $1.lookahead.* doesn't work as it passes (jobs+1) arguments to colordiff, which only accepts 2. Is there any way to glob only one .lookahead.* directory? Some other solution?

Here's a more complete version that also works with -j:
