For Haiku scripters and coders, there is a new utility called barberpole. It will throw a spinning barberpole on the screen while your script is doing something that may take a long, but unknown time. When it is done, a single hey or kill command removes the barberpole. I wrote this utility using bbjimmy's spinner library.
