Update one Statusbar in realtime from bash?

[_-Caleb-_]

Hi,

I'm trying to recreate an old utility called status in yab, this shown a statusbar and it's updated from bash...




Before start i'm asking if it's possible with yab, and if it, how is the better way? Im thinking in a program reading a file every x seconds and change this file with the % in every pass...

But sure exists a better solution.

Thanks in advanced!

This looks like the way to go, but using /boot/system/var/shared_memory for weiting the info saves time and disk usage. This folder is a ramdisk supplied for just this sort of thing.

Hi.

Thank you very much, I didn't know that directory or its usefulness! :-) 

Hopefully I'll have time this week to get into it.

Hi, 

Starting with this program i've the next error:

The button isnt clickable.... just pressing alt+space but it doesn't work with the mouse click.

Any idea?

Code:

# 1. Crea un archivo en el directorio /boot/system/var/shared_memory
# 2. Abre el archivo y lo lee
# 3. Cada medio segundo (A falta de prueba de reindimiento) lee el archivo. y actualiza la barra y la etiqueta.
# 4. Al llegar al 100% espera 1 segundo y lanza un Notify informando de que se ha finalizado el proceso.

[bbjimmy]

your button is in "View, but View1 is placed over top of View
I would suggest removing this line:


view 0,10 to 550,450, "View1", "View"

The main window, in this case "View" is the only view that is needed.
