in

in.go

A short little program I wrote to display a progress bar while waiting for a command to run.

Use it like: in 2m30s && run_a_command

My main use case is a server that has a BIOS that is slow to reboot and I want to ssh back in when it's up.

Installing

Just run go build in.go and move the in binary into ~/bin or ~/.local/bin

You can change the constants at the top or edit the function to customize the appearance of the progress bar!
