Bash progress bar command like in g4u (BSD)

I'm trying to get the g4u scripts running on debian machines. I've got
it all running now expect for a fancy progress bar.

The original g4u uses 'progress' to get a progress bar of the data pipe:

ftp -o "| progress -z dd obs=1M of=/dev/${diskpart}" ftp.....

I can't find this program for linux. I have found the program 'bar' but
there's no debian package for it and I would like to be able to use it
out of the box.

So anyone a clue how to accomplish this progress bar on the data pipe in
bash?

Rg,

Arnaud Loonstra

From what I've seen of it it doesn't support stdin & stdout, it needs a
counter to get a gauge progress bar.

I've tried 'bar' now and it could do the job only it doens't work with
lukemftp for some reason. It did work with ncftp but I want a user input
of the password.

if I could only get the original 'progress' command which is used on
NetBSD.

Nope it works ok but it's nothing more than hash in ftp..
it just prints out a dot for every n bytes...

I did try the bar command which works ok but it doens't work with
supplying a password interactively...

I tried contacting the developer of lukemftp since progress on NetBSD is
developed together with it's ftp command but misses in lukemftp. Even
the man page is referring to it.

The search continues...

A quick look at the package repository for NetBSD shows that it's
just a Perl construct: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Term-ProgressBar

Nope it's this:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/....bin/progress/

But I tried to compile it didn't work. Progress is also developed by the
author of Lukemftp and I think it uses progressbar.c/h from lukemftp.

I've gotten in touch with the author of Lukemftp, I'll see what he says.

Then make. If make complains about a missing separator, check that
the line in Makefile containing "$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $^" begins
with a tab character.

Note: you'll need to use '--' in the command line before the name
of the program you want to feed data to.
