I like to see the percentage done of an ongoing process. I also want to make it easier for others to do the same, so I created a small example-script for how to do it from a bash script. On the left side, you see how it will look like.
I have seen some scripts using awk to calculate the percentage of a progress when the output is to verbose maybe doesn’t show the percentage but a number of a total.
You can also add –auto-kill if you want the cancel-button to kill the parent pid.
Enjoy making X graphical verbose scripts!
(for a in `seq 1 100` ; do echo $a; sleep 0.03; done) | zenity --auto-close --progress \ --text="Slow counting from 1 to 100" \ --title="Example Progress"
