[NTLUG:Discuss] More shell scripting madness

[Daniel Hauck]

That's great code.  I was almost to that point when Cox came in and 
wrecked the creative effort with simplicity and elegance. :)

But I was about %50 of where you were by the time I read Cox's idea and 
went with his suggestion.  I have added to that by using "zenity 
--notification" code in the main loop.  So when it's running, there will 
be an icon in the systray and when it stops, it goes away!  Very nice. 
(if I wanted to, I could even animate the systray icon by setting up a 
rotation of icons to display with each cycle of the while loop... but 
nah... I know I could do it, but ... well maybe I will at some point.)
