geoffrepoli / progress-bar-function.sh
Last active December 13, 2022 15:12
function you can place in your scripts and call on any command where you want progress animations. replaced the earlier snippet that was less plug and play. the characters in $loop can be replaced with other characters - printf prints 3 individual random characters from the string stored in $loop
_progressBar() {
local pid="$1"
if ps -p "$pid" &>/dev/null; then
loop='▁▃▄▅▆▇█'
while kill -0 "$pid" &>/dev/null; do
printf "%b\r" "${loop:$((RANDOM%${#loop})):1}${loop:$((RANDOM%${#loop})):1}${loop:$((RANDOM%${#loop})):1}"
sleep 0.1
done
