    How do I get a task bar for the commmand line for the tar.gz or tar.bz2 when compressing files? I want a task like wget has for download and like you get when you tar.gz or tar.bz2 with a gui.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    best I have been able to do is this
    tar -zcvvvvf chant.tar.gz chant/ | zenity --progress --text="zipping" --percentage=1 --auto-kill

    have no idea as to how to get "--test=zipping" to show a % as the progress bar moves
