indicate-task - show and control a running task with an indicator-applet
Published by Tim Cuthbertson
- Overview
This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:
If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.
Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.
Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:
$ 0launch http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/indicate-task.xml
The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.
If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.

- Description
indicate-task ============= A command line tool that displays an indicator / persistent notification for the duration of a long-running process (a task). It has been tested on Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 15, but other distros may not yet have the required support in libnotify / appindicators. It can also notify you when the task is complete, and allows you to cancel the task or view its output while it is running. indicate-task echoes stdin to stdout as well as capturing it, so you can wrap a program in an indicator and still get the same output / return code. **Note**: indicate task requires the `python-appindicator` package on Ubuntu. I can't add this to the feed's dependency list, as it doesn't exist (and isn't needed) in any other distro. ------------------------------ ## Usage:
