Found this little function when I wanted to add functionality to `shot()`. It takes an integer as an argument, then counts down that number of seconds visually.
{{{class="prettyprint"
countdown() {
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
printf "
countdown: Count down while printing progress on the terminal
Usage: countdown <seconds>
"
fi
local secs="$1"
while [ "$secs" -gt 0 ]; do
echo -ne "$secs\033[0K\r"
sleep 1
: $((secs--))
done
}
}}}
This probably isn't the sanest or safest solution to the problem, but it gets the job done. Patches welcome.
I no longer use `countdown()` from `shot()` directly, but sometimes will in some sort of pipeline in tandem with it. I found that I want that flexibility out in the open for me to use instead of packed behind a bespoke ui for little benefit.
