9 You could also fill in the ok/failed status as things progress. So if
10 the screen displays:
11
12 Script A [ ok ]
13 Script B [ ]
14 Script C [ ok ]
15 Script D [failed]
16 Script E [ ]
17
18 Scripts A and C have completed successfully, script D failed, and
19 scripts B and E are currently running, and F-? have not started yet.

21 Of course the code (in shell script no less!) to make this work would
22 be tricky to say the least, and probably require creating some
23 C-helper programs to move the cursor around. But it would be cool!
