Need an activity ticker/indicator

[ids]

I might be in need of some sort of activity ticker/indicator and looking for suggestions.

I have a UTILS module that triggers a scheduled task from the UTILS admin. The process will take several minutes. Since there is no I/O in Async, I am writing/logging data to a file. How can I track the file and update the screen until the scheduled task completes the file?

Thanks,

Scott

I think I've seen code in the LSK for generating progress-bar displays, like the ones we see when installing an update to the store. Don't recall any details, sorry.
