I made a shell script which uses this command to calculate a sha256 checksum recursive for a directory for example /run/media/$USER/directory:

find . -type f -exec sha256sum {} \; | sort -k 2 | sha256sum

This process takes some time. Meanwhile I want to display a progress bar via zenity that shows the current progress according to the command. I tried it with:

find . -type f -exec sha256sum {} \; | sort -k 2 | sha256sum | zenity --progress --title="Checksum"

but it doesn't show any percentages:

Thanks for your time! :)

  • Please tell us more about your dataset. Eg: find . -type f | parallel -X du | perl -ane '$F[0]=~s/\S/9/g; print $F[0],"\n"'| sort -n | uniq -c Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 18:11

  parallel --bar sha256sum {} 2> >(perl -pe 'BEGIN{$/="\r";$|=1};s/\r/\n/g' |
    zenity --progress --auto-kill) |
  sort -k 2 | sha256sum

  • Unfortunately, it doesn´t seem to work :/ . The progress bar is always at 100%. Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 9:15
  • @stewie I think you need to tell us more about your dataset. Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 18:04
