703 Spinner Animation for non-verbose process/commands that take long time

# call spinner section put run in background and save PID
bmtTimeFunc  spin &
pid=$!
disown

# 'do stuff'
echo "START"
find ~ -name mint 2>/dev/null
echo "END"

# Stop spin function with PID
kill $pid
sleep 2

704-707 Stop watch

Stop watch timer that returns value in seconds between the stop and start with a scale of 6. Mircoseconds 1.000000. startwatch creates a global variable called _BMT_START_WATCH and uses bc An arbitrary precision calculator language.

sleep 2.8
bmtTimeFunc stopWatch
# returns  ~ 2.813207

echo " "
echo "END"

sleep 2
echo " "
