indicate-task show and control a running task with an indicator-applet https://github.com/gfxmonk/indicate-task 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:
