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.

time_uptime
TIME_SECOND(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual TIME_SECOND(9)NAME
time_second, time_uptime, boottime -- system time variables
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
extern time_t time_second;
extern time_t time_uptime;
#include <sys/kernel.h>
extern struct timeval boottime;
DESCRIPTION
The time_second variable is the system's ``wall time'' clock. It is set at boot by inittodr(9), and is updated periodically via
timecounter(9) framework, and also updated by the settimeofday(2) system call.
The time_uptime variable is a monotonically increasing system clock. It is set at boot, and is updated periodically. (It is not updated by
settimeofday(2).)
The boottime variable holds the system boot time. It is set at system boot, and is updated when the system time is adjusted with
settimeofday(2). The variable may be read and written without special precautions.
All of these variables contain times expressed in seconds and microseconds since midnight (0 hour), January 1, 1970.
The bintime(9), getbintime(9), microtime(9), getmicrotime(9), nanotime(9), and getnanotime(9) functions can be used to get the current time
more accurately and in an atomic manner.
Similarly, the binuptime(9), getbinuptime(9), microuptime(9), getmicrouptime(9), nanouptime(9), and getnanouptime(9) functions can be used to
get the time elapsed since boot more accurately and in an atomic manner.
