You know that the test is completed once it the process terminates and you stop seeing
output in your terminal.

You are right that there currently is no support for knowing the progress of a test
run however. I have filed a ticket on our issue tracker about this here:

If you run ooniprobe with the above mentioned command the measurement results will end
up inside of your current working directory.

In the version of ooniprobe you are probably currently running (I assume 1.6.1 or 1.5.1?)
there is no support for showing the results of the experiment in a simple to parse manner.
That is you have to inspect the YAML file yourself and grep for the keys that indicate censorship
or roll out your own parser.

In the 2.x series of ooniprobe we now have a web GUI that will present to you the results
in a much more user friendly manner and you will be able to have a aggregate view of the URLs
tested and which ones presented anomalies that can be a sign of censorship as well as inspect
individual reports.

If you are feeling experimental you can try that out by following the instructions here:

Thanks for running ooniprobe!
