Thanks chatwizrd,
Can you be more explicit, I don't really understand you. The point is not to do all the actions together but one after the other. After each action is completed, I want to display a certain percentage on line one.
For example, here is a script named icandothat:
Code:
~# cat icandothat
action1() { echo 'doing action1...'; sleep 3; }
action2() { echo 'doing action2...'; sleep 5; }
action3() { echo 'doing action3...'; sleep 2; }
echo '0%   completed'
action1
echo '30%  completed'
action2
echo '80%  completed'
action3
echo '100% completed'

Here is the result of this script at different times (left) compared to the result of a so called script icannotdothat (right). The script I would like to be able to write is the script on the right.
T=0
Code:
~# icandothat                 ~# icannotdothat
0%   completed                0%   completed
doing action1...              doing action1...

T=3 seconds
Code:
~# icandothat                 ~# icannotdothat
0%   completed                30%  completed
doing action1...              doing action1...
30%  completed                doing action2...
doing action2...

T=8 seconds
Code:
~# icandothat                 ~# icannotdothat
0%   completed                80%  completed
doing action1...              doing action1...
30%  completed                doing action2...
doing action2...              doing action3...
80%  completed
doing action3...

T=10 seconds
Code:
~# icandothat                 ~# icannotdothat
0%   completed                100% completed
doing action1...              doing action1...
30%  completed                doing action2...
doing action2...              doing action3...
80%  completed                ~#
doing action3...
100% completed
~#

RDMA_GET_RECV_COMP(3)					   Librdmacm Programmer's Manual				     RDMA_GET_RECV_COMP(3)

NAME
rdma_get_recv_comp - retrieves a completed receive request. SYNOPSIS
#include <rdma/rdma_verbs.h> int rdma_get_recv_comp (struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct ibv_wc *wc); ARGUMENTS
id A reference to a communication identifier to check for completions. wc A reference to a work completion structure to fill in. DESCRIPTION
Retrieves a completed work request for a receive operation. Information about the completed request is returned through the wc parameter, with the wr_id set to the context of the request. For details on the work completion structure, see ibv_poll_cq. RETURN VALUE
Returns the number of returned completions (0 or 1) on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure reason. NOTES
This calls polls the receive completion queue associated with an rdma_cm_id. If a completion is not found, the call blocks until a request completes. This call should only be used on rdma_cm_id's that do not share CQs with other rdma_cm_id's, and maintain separate CQs for sends and receive completions. SEE ALSO
