Is it possible to know when the code run will be completed??

I have run bowtie2 from the command line to align paired-end reads of Arabidopsis thaliana with its reference genome.

# Align with bowtie
bowtie2 \
    --fast-local \
    -p 6 \
    --phred33 \
    -x refseq/$refseq \
    -1 $read1 \
    -2 $read2 |\
    samtools sort > $mapped/mapped_all.bam

My PC has only 6 threads and I have assigned them all to run this code. I guess it will take quite a long time.

Is there any code or command that will estimate when the code run will be completed?

Run it on 1mio reads and then extrapolate, no there is no magical formula, depends on the machine, the harddrive speed, the read length etc.
