You mean some sort of progress bar or showing the percentage of completion?

Script

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo "15" ; sleep 1
echo "Setting configs" ; sleep 1
echo "30" ; sleep 1
echo "Installing software" ; sleep 1
echo "50" ; sleep 1
echo "Additional configuration" ; sleep 1
echo "70" ; sleep 1
echo "Removing logs" ; sleep 1
echo "100" ; sleep 1
echo "Finished" ; sleep 1

Runnign script with gtkdialog

Code:

#!/bin/bash

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="Progress" decorated="true">
<vbox>
<frame Install>
<text>
<label>Progress bar running your script</label>
</text>
<progressbar>
<label>Some Text</label>
<input>./script-test</input>
<action type="exit">Ready</action>
</progressbar>
</frame>
<hbox>
<button cancel></button>
</hbox>
</vbox>
</window>'

gtkdialog --program=MAIN_DIALOG

The shell 'knows' what line number it is on (echo $LINENO -I think), so you could always create a small function which would calculate a measure of progress based on (current-line / total-lines)
There is a program out there called clpbar which may do what you want. Search for it at sourceforge.

amigo, $LINENO is very useful, thanks Wink

What do you guys think about this?

Code:

#!/bin/bash

script=`basename $0 `
actions=$(grep " \$perct" ${PWD}/${script}| wc -l)
perct=$(( 99 / $actions ))
now=0

now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
echo "Setting configs" ; sleep 1

now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
echo "Installing software" ; sleep 1

now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
echo "Additional configuration" ; sleep 1

now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
echo "Removing logs" ; sleep 1

now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
echo 99
echo "Finished"; sleep 1
echo 100

or this

Code:

#!/bin/bash

setting-x(){
echo "Setting configs"
}
install-x(){
echo "Installing software"
}
config-x(){
echo "Additional configuration"
}
remove-x(){
echo "Removing logs"
}
list="setting-x install-x config-x remove-x"
actions=$(echo $list | wc -w)
perct=$(( 99 / $actions ))
now=0
for item in $list;do
$item
sleep 1
now=$(( $now + $perct ))
echo $now
done
echo 99
echo "Finished"; sleep 1
echo 100

Running with gtkdialog

Code:

#!/bin/bash

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="Progress" decorated="true">
<vbox>
<frame Install>
<text>
<label>Progress bar running your script</label>
</text>
<progressbar>
<label>Some Text</label>
<input>./script-test</input>
<action type="exit">Ready</action>
</progressbar>
</frame>
<hbox>
<button cancel></button>
</hbox>
</vbox>
</window>'

gtkdialog --program=MAIN_DIALOG
