Hi,<br>
<br>
Anyone who've installed and used webmin, probably saw this part:<br>
you're missing a part (like SSL?) and webmin compiles it for you.<br>
<br>
What I would like to know is how they did the trick that the page is<br>
constantly updating while downloading/compiling/iinstalling, all the<br>
text appears as it's progress..<br>
<br>
I want to write a simple shell script that uses lftp. lftp has this<br>
neat feature that while it downloads, it shows a nice progress bar,<br>
and I want to create a simple script that will show that progress bar<br>
with lftp - on a page without refreshing it.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Hetz<br>
