For similar purposes, I once wrote this script: http://www.secnetix.de/olli/scripts/worldwatch It's a shell script that uses /usr/bin/window to split the screen: The top two lines display a time counter, ETA and percent estimates, and progress information (i.e. what part of the world is currently compiled). The larger bottom part shows the usual make output. The script uses only FreeBSD base tools and does not require any ports. Here's a screen shot: http://www.secnetix.de/olli/scripts/worldwatch-screen.png I wouldn't mind if anybody committed my script, too, but now that DES committed his, I guess it doesn't make much sense. Best regards Oliver PS: The ETA and percent display is empty during the first run because there's no statistics information yet. Such information is collected and recorded in /var/db. Upon the second and subsequent runs, the collected information is used to display ETA and percentage. -- Oliver Fromme, Bunsenstr. 13, 81735 Muenchen, Germany ``We are all but compressed light'' (Albert Einstein)
