Subject: [9fans] Acme: indicator of running process
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 242e9302-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

hi list,


a long running process (e.g. `git submodule update') does not give any=20=

indication as to whether it is running or dead already, save for some p=
rogress=20
messages, if any. i would like a clear indicator in Acme's $cwd+Error w=
indow=20
the process outputs to.

i guess the state of the /dev/stdout of Acme's child process whould be =
a good=20
indicator for most cases. is there any handy hack to indicate whether t=
he=20
/dev/stdout is open in any particular Acme window? or any other indicat=
or=20
whether a process is still working or dead?

yes, i know names of processes are displayed in top Tag line, but in my=
 cases,=20
usually several gits are ran along (git gui, git submodule, etc.etc.)

using p9p Acme.


cheers,
--=20
