For Haiku scripters and coders, there is a new utility called barberpole. It will throw a spinning barberpole on the screen while your script is doing something that may take a long, but unknown time. When it is done, a single hey or kill command removes the barberpole. I wrote this utility using bbjimmy's spinner library.

yabdialog (previously called hdialog) is a CLI utility that displays a variety of dialogs, alerts and panels with more control over color and placement than you get with the alert and filepanel commands included with Haiku. It also contains additional widgets and lets you control your clipboard. The yabdialog command should be callable from any scripting language that can issue a SYSTEM call and receive string data back from standard input. All parameters must be supplied, in the correct order. On the bright side, all parameters are case-insensitive License: Public Domain (2014). Yab source files will be found in /boot/home/config/data/src after installation, in Yabadabbadoo format. Installation: Move (don't copy) the .hpkg file into /boot/home/config/packages on any Haiku installation with Package Management.
