Output from "cp" command

Is there any way to capture any data from the cp command? At a minimum, I
would like to at least capture the completion notification. If you do:
 
cp -Rp test1 test2 &
 
when the copy is complete, a "done" message will be displayed to the screen.
Is this message available when doing:
 
cp -Rp test1 test2
 
and can it be captured?
 
Other pertinent file information about the file copy would be helpful as
well, if possible.
 
Thanks!
