Hello everybody!

I am a newie at bash scripts, and I would like to know how to create a panel-based script to create executable files with wget, to mass-download lists of files.

So far, all I have been able to create is this:

!bin/bash

cd ~/ mkdir ~/Downloads/ cd ~/Downloads/ wget -options http://www.someweb.com/some-directory/ exit

I'd like to create something similar to this, but with a graphic enviroment and with a progress bar that is not the tipical [===> ] progress bar.

Thanks.

I recommend to use zenity or yad

image description

Yad (yet another dialog) is a fork of Zenity with many improvements, such as custom buttons, additional dialogs, pop-up menu in notification icon and more.

How to install yad?

su -c 'yum -y install yad'

Some examples with zenity (you can replace zenity for yad, and work)

Dowload bar

example

wget -c http://www.someweb.com/some-directory/miarchive.bin 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | zenity --progress --title="Descargando archivo..."

wget -c http://www.someweb.com/some-directory/miarchive.bin 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | yad --progress --title="Descargando archivo..."
