KSH scripting in slit terminal

[minixman]

hi all

i am trying to have a screen print 2 results at the same time, for example.

while true do
echo "Hello world"
done

then whilst that is running, have a progress bar that prints
1%, then clear results
2 % on the same line, anyone been able to do this

something like that might be a start:

#!/bin/ksh

typeset -i everyLine=5
typeset -i i=0

while (( (i=$((i+1))) < 10000 ))
do
(( i % everyLine == 0 )) && print -n &quot;\r${i}&quot;
done

echo &quot;&quot;

Thanks for the Counter, that is cool, but what i am trying to do is

in the same terminal window or program window, have the counter running like so, and also lets say have a ps -ef|grep cp running in a while loop, so it would look something like this on your screen


bash%: ./runprog

1 secs

----

root : root /user/bin/cp program-program

and then the seconds would update until the cp has finished like 2,3,4,5,5,6

look into using &quot;tput&quot; for &quot;addressable cursors&quot;.
you'll also need to look into starting the 'cp' in the background and 'scheduling' your 'ps|grep' [grepping for the backgrounded 'cp' pid].

work on the cp/grep/background 'thingies' first and address a 'split screen/tput' issues later. vlad
