CLI Status Indicators

Acceptable responses to a prompt are not case sensitive.
Use the no version to restore the default state, where pressing y or Enter alone
responds in the affirmative, and any other entry is accepted as a negative response.
NOTE: The system's CLI supports a powerful command-line editor,
enabling you to easily correct, edit, and recall previously entered
commands. For more information, see "Using Command-Line Editing"
on page 63.
For a description of the commands that you use to get around the CLI,
see "Managing the System" on page 239.
See confirmations explicit.
The E Series software includes two types of indicators to inform you of the status of your
CLI operation.
The dot service indicator is used when your operation does not finish within 2 seconds.
The service displays the Please wait message and a dot every 5 seconds until the
operation is completed. The dot service is used for all CLI operations, except those
that use the more descriptive progress indicator.
The progress indicator is an animated representation of how much progress has been
made on a CLI operation that does not finish within the expected completion time.
This type of status indicator is supported for the file system synchronization application
and the file copy application.
The progress indicator displays a series of dots that represents the time required to
complete the operation. The dots are followed by the actual percentage of the total
that has been completed and by an oscillating asterisk that indicates ongoing activity.
As the application progresses, the dots are replaced with asterisks, starting at the left,
to represent how much of the operation is finished. The actual percentage is also
adjusted accordingly. When the operation is complete, all dots are replaced by asterisks,
and the message DONE replaces the numerical percentage.
The number of dots that appears and the percentage of completion represented by
each dot or asterisk are based on the terminal width. For example, if the terminal is set
to 80 characters, each of the 50 dots indicates 2 percent of the total time (2 percent
x 50 characters = 100 percent). See "Managing the System" on page 239 for information
about setting the terminal width.
The following examples show progress indicator output for a 50-character-wide
display.
