It depends on what GUI framework/programming language you are using. Please tell us more.

[any.linux12]

GUI-gnome

And it's a #!/bin/sh script

Try something like this:



`sleep 10` | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close


Needs "zenity" to be installed. Not precisely what you want, but close to it.

this is my script and I already have the zenity thing but I also want to change my mouse icon and the reason why I want my mouse to change is because the zenity bar does not pulsate, so, it starts it ends but you don't see anything and this script is not for me but for a simple user of my network


#!/bin/sh

user=`whoami`


LOGFILE=`mktemp -t svn_checkout.XXXXXX`
ICONPATH="`dirname $0`/svn.xpm"
list=`ssh $user@192.168.1.3 "ls /esp-server/svn"`
URL=`zenity --entry --title="Subversion: Checkout" --text="$list

Enter repository folder according to the the aboves:" --entry-text="" --width=400 --window-icon="$ICONPATH" 2>&1`


while [ `svn checkout svn+ssh://$user@192.168.1.3/esp-server/svn/$URL &> $LOGFILE` ] ;
do
sleep 0.25
done | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-kill --text="Wait until the ok button is enable" --window-icon="`dirname $0`/svn.xpm"
rm -f $LOGFILE



thanks

You cannot globally change the mouse cursor. It is handled locally for every window by the X-Server. In order to get zenity pulsating, you need to feed it with input. Example:



yes | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close

I don't get the diference between your code and this


done | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-kill --text="Wait until the ok button is enable" --window-icon="`dirname $0`/svn.xpm"
