Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This one has turned out to be a bit of a tough nut to crack! |
| 4 |
Essentially, here's what I want to do: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
$ rsync --progress <some-file> ./ | awk '$0~/ /{sub(/%/,"");print $2;fflush()}' | zenity --progress |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
essentially what this does, is pipe the rsync output to awk, which |
| 9 |
strips off the '$' and prints out only the percent number, then pipes |
| 10 |
that to zenity, so that I can get a nice progress bar. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However, it doesn't work because there is some line buffering going on, |
| 13 |
and because rsync doesn't print any newlines (instead it prints ^M, or |
| 14 |
carriage return) during the stage where you see |
| 15 |
13139968 12% 11.36MB/s 0:00:08 |
| 16 |
so that it can keep going back to the beginning of the line to redraw |
| 17 |
the progress. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So I tried to stop the line buffering by using stty |
| 20 |
$ stty eol 0xd |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
which should make 0xd "end the line" according to `man stty` but it |
| 23 |
didn't work. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I tried various other approaches, but to no avail. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
When I run rsync by hand, it doesn't line buffer, but when pipe the |
| 28 |
output to something, it does. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Is there any way around this? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Many thanks, |
| 33 |

That's a city in Bosnia. Right? |
