Bash progress bar

Question

I'm using the following script to go through a large list of domains in whois and find the registrar (useful for server/DNS migrations) and it works fine.

However I am wanting to incorporate a progress bar into it just for the sake of convenience. Here's my script, if it can be improved let me know:

#!/bin/bash
for f in `cat /var/www/vhosts/domainlist`
 do
   if
   domain=$f
   [ "$domain" ] ;
   then
    whois $f | grep -i domainregistrar > /dev/null
     if
     [ $? -le 0 ] ;
     then
      echo $f >> our_registrar
     else
      echo $f >> external_registrar
     fi
   fi
 done
echo "Done, check our_registrar file."

I've tried this first: http://moblog.bradleyit.com/2010/02/simple-bash-progress-bar-function.html

And then this but with no luck.

What do you reckon is the easiest way to get a progress bar implemented into that script?

Here's a fancy progress bar that you might enjoy...

#!/bin/bash
#   Slick Progress Bar

PUT(){ echo -en "\033[${1};${2}H";}  
DRAW(){ echo -en "\033%";echo -en "\033(0";}         
WRITE(){ echo -en "\033(B";}  
HIDECURSOR(){ echo -en "\033[?25l";} 
NORM(){ echo -en "\033[?12l\033[?25h";}
function showBar {
        percDone=$(echo 'scale=2;'$1/$2*100 | bc)
        halfDone=$(echo $percDone/2 | bc) #I prefer a half sized bar graph
        barLen=$(echo ${percDone%'.00'})
        halfDone=`expr $halfDone + 6`
        tput bold
        PUT 7 28; printf "%4.4s  " $barLen%     #Print the percentage
        PUT 5 $halfDone;  echo -e "\033[7m \033[0m" #Draw the bar
        tput sgr0
        }
# Start Script

HIDECURSOR
echo -e ""                                           
echo -e ""                                          
DRAW    #magic starts here - must use caps in draw mode                                              
echo -e "          PLEASE WAIT WHILE SCRIPT IS IN PROGRESS"
echo -e "    lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk"  
echo -e "    x                                                   x" 
echo -e "    mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj"
WRITE             
#
# Insert your script here
for (( i=0; i<=50; i++ ))  
do
    showBar $i 50  #Call bar drawing function "showBar"
    sleep .2
done
# End of your script
# Clean up at end of script
PUT 10 12                                           
echo -e ""                                        
NORM

looks like this:

looks like this

I get a strange unicode-sign at the top-left corner for the %: `% PLEASE WAIT WHILE SCRIPT IS IN PROGRESS` how can I remove that? screenshot: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7JHnj.png — rubo77, Sep 30 '13 at 09:48
I think I solved it with changing DRAW to just `DRAW(){echo -en "\033(0";}` What was the `echo -en "\033%";` for? — rubo77, Sep 30 '13 at 10:36

You can use pv but the other way.

 for ... # outer loop
 do
   ...
   echo -n X
 done | pv -s $(wc -l 'your_file_list') - >/dev/null

so you use echo X to say when another portion of work is done and this is counted by pv, it's know what the whole job size is due to -s option.

I shall have a look at this when I get home :) Cheers so far. – Zippyduda Jul 21 '12 at 16:15
This is pretty neat, but bear in mind that it puts the for-loop in a subshell, and so any changes you make to variables inside the loop won't affect variables outside the loop! – Jon Gjengset Dec 04 '13 at 13:55

You could use something like:

progress(){
    # example usage:
    # progress 30G 9G 30
    # 30G [================>.................................] 30% (9G)

    # params:
    # $1 = total value (e.g.: source size)
    # $2 = current value (e.g.: destination size)
    # $3 = percent completed
    [[ -z $1 || -z $2 || -z $3 ]] && exit  # on empty param...

    percent=$3
    completed=$(( $percent / 2 ))
    remaining=$(( 50 - $completed ))

    echo -ne "\r$1 ["
    printf "%0.s=" `seq $completed`
    echo -n ">"
    [[ $remaining != 0 ]] && printf "%0.s." `seq $remaining`
    echo -n "] $percent% ($2)  "
}

from https://gist.github.com/ivanalejandro0/9159989

You can see an usage example in https://github.com/ivanalejandro0/misc/blob/master/shell-scripts/copy-progress.sh

Change the outer loop to:

pv /var/www/vhosts/domainlist | while read f
do
    ...
done

http://linux.die.net/man/1/pv

Or you can use any other program that provides a progress bar based on how much a file has been read.

I placed that line in it, the script still works however it goes to 100% with the bar full immediately: ./findregistrar.sh 1.12kB 0:00:00 [30.4MB/s] [===============================================================================‌===================>] 100% so it has not worked correctly. It sits at the blank cursor which is normal until completed, then when done obviously it says: Done, check our_registrar file. But not clear on why it is not working. – Zippyduda Jul 21 '12 at 15:05
I have a feeling it is due to it not knowing what 25/50/75/100 is actually defined by and when it has reached a % stage. – Zippyduda Jul 21 '12 at 15:12

It's probably because bash's read read whole input and then process it. – nshy Jul 21 '12 at 15:55
Would it help if I got it to calculate how many lines are in the file, divide this by 10 and tell it when =>X (or <=X ) amount of lines has completed, that is 10% and do a line count/check and then once it has completed each line get it to say "complete". – Zippyduda Jul 21 '12 at 16:15

Given that you mentioned in a comment that you're on a debian based system, you could use whiptail. When you install a deb package that requires configuration, text-based windows are drawn to ask you stuff; that's whiptail.

Something like

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# mapfile requires bash 4
mapfile -t domains < /var/www/vhosts/domainlist

# for older bash versions, read can be used in this case.
#IFS=$'\n' read -rd '' -a domains < /var/www/vhosts/domainlist

n=${#domains[@]}

for ((i=0; i < n; ++i)); do
    printf 'XXX\n\n%s\nXXX\n' "Checking ${domains[i]}"
    if whois "${domains[i]}" | grep -Fiq domainregistrar; then
        printf '%s\n' "${domains[i]}" >&3
    else
        printf '%s\n' "${domains[i]}" >&4
    fi
    printf '%d\n' $((100*i/n))
done 3>our_registrar 4>external_registrar | whiptail --gauge "" 6 50 0

bash v4 is required for mapfile. – jordanm Jul 21 '12 at 18:25
@jordanm, good point. I'm fairly certain Ubuntu 10.04 has bash 4, but I updated the answer with an alternative for older bash versions anyway. – geirha Jul 21 '12 at 19:00
Yes, looks like it has 4.1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/bash – jordanm Jul 21 '12 at 19:23

I suggest you to use Xdialog, Kdialog or zenity and it's progress option.

Forgot to say, (not sure if relevant), on an Ubuntu 10.04 box with only SSH, no GUI. Those seem directed towards ones with a GUI, however I imagine due to it being unix it all applies down to SSH anyway. – Zippyduda Jul 21 '12 at 13:34
OK, then the pv is optimal solution. – igustin Jul 21 '12 at 14:15
