IA Newbie: Displaying progress bar/messages on AIX in console mode
Hi,
I am new to IA and I am attempting to run a number of "execute command" actions as part of my pre-install. My problem is that I wish to display a progess message while my commands are being executed. The "show indeterminate dialog" does not do anything (although I am guessing this feature is only available in GUI mode) so my only work around is to display a message dialog which requires the user to click OK to continue.
Is there a way to display progress messages in console mode.
Well, install part should be what its name suggests it is: pure installation. All the questions to the end user should have been answered in the Pre-Install task (i.e. you should not have actions that display messages AND requires user interaction in the installation part).
My issue is that I want to inform the user when the installer is performing a task which could take a while to complete - I do not want have a blank screen where the user does not know what the installer is doing.
For example, during pre_install I run a number of system checks. At the moment I have to add a message dialog before running the execute command. This requires the user to Click OK to continue. I wish to just display the message with no user interaction.
