Is there anyone here who is very good with the dialog program? I'm trying to get it to display a static progress bar with a tailbox. I'm trying something like:

dialog --tailboxbg /dev/zero 15 60 --and-widget --begin 40 50 --gauge "Install Progress" \ 6 40 10

but the tailbox doesn't update. Does anyone know how to do this?

I think the program reads the whole file in first, then waits for more. As /dev/zero doesn't have an end, it hangs. Try using a standard file, then append to the file with:


echo -e "\nMore text!" >>filename
