Here is a use I though of for it....
Code:
#!/bin/bash
search ()
{
        delay1='sleep .08'
   wipescreen='echo -ne \b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b'
echo -ne "|                                                          ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "/                                                            ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "-                                                          ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "\                                                          ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "|                                                        ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "/                                                       ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "-                                                       ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "\                                                    ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "|                                                   ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "";$delay1;$wipescreen
}
echo "Please wait while the computer searches for the file... "
search
locate $1

It the little spinny thing you see on most linux installers...
Ok, I have though of a use for this little function but can anyone tell me if you can use if to see if a certain script or file is running...

spin ()
{
BLUE='\e[0;34m'
RED='\e[0;31m'
WHITE='\e[1;37m'
NC='\e[0m'

echo -ne "${RED}-"
echo -ne "${WHITE}\b|"   
echo -ne "${BLUE}\bx"
sleep .02
echo -ne "${RED}\b+${NC}"
}

for i in `seq 1 15` ; do spin; done
exit


Try that for a spinner instead crudball.... ;) You can change the duration of spin, and length of spin pretty easily this way. Calling the spinner is a one line thing as well.

sleep .3

for i in `seq 1 15` ; do spin; done


does more of a progress bar thing than just sitting and spinning.....

and another version of this.....

Code:
#!/bin/bash
function spin {
    echo -n '-'
    echo -ne '\b|'   
    sleep .1
    echo -ne '\bx'
    sleep .1
    echo -ne '\b+'
}
for i in `seq 1 15` ; do spin; done   
echo ""
exit

Code:
#!/bin/bash

shopt -s -o nounset
trap 'echo -e "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b|=======|> done!"' EXIT
        echo -n "|/     |"
        while true
        do
        # moving right
        echo -ne "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b-     |"
        sleep .03
        echo -ne "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\\     |"
        sleep .03
        echo -ne "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b|     |"

Heres a nice one:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
search ()
{
        delay1='sleep .08'
   wipescreen='echo -ne \b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b'
echo -ne "c       ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "cr      ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "cru     ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "crud    ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "crudb   ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "crudba  ";$delay1;$wipescreen
echo -ne "crudbal ";$delay1;$wipescreen

echo -ne "      ll";$delay1;$wipescreen

Here is a clock using the same basic format:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
clock ()
{
        delay1='sleep 1'
   wipescreen='echo -ne
\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\$
echo -ne "`date +"%H:%M:%S"`";$delay1 ;$wipescreen
clock
}
clock

The date command can be modified to suite - man date or date --help.

This would be interesting to show in the terminal possibly in front of the prompt. & does it half way but the output interferes with the information at the prompt.

well you could do that by puttin it in while loop, like

while ( ps -aef | grep "nmap" 1>/dev/null )
