Thank you so much for the info provided... After your explanation I was able to make it work
Code:
tot_files_found="$(echo $RANDOM)_find.$CURRENT_USER.$(echo $RANDOM)$(echo $RANDOM)"
while true; do
if [ -f "$tot_files_found" ]; then # File exists
if [ -s "$tot_files_found" ]; then # File exists and not empty; (find . has written the file; operation ended)
break
fi
else
# recursively gets the total number of files
find . -type f | wc -l > $tot_files_found &
fi
done | yad --image="$MD5SUM_ICONS/binary.png" --progress --pulsate --progress-text="" --center --title="Getting things ready..." --text="Reading files..." --auto-kill --auto-close --no-buttons --no-escape --fixed
Of course if anyone has a better way to do this, I am all hears.
Thanks again.
