Comment 13 for bug 220656

Sorry, I just realized I pasted the rough copy... Please ignore my previous post.

Hi everybody, I experienced the same problem in my bash scripts, and I tried to find out a workaround. The following bash code worked for me in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex:

foo | (if `zenity --progress --auto-close --text='In progress' --title='In progress'`;
                 then
                     echo 'Job completed'
                 else
                     killall `basename $0`
                     exit
                 fi)

Hope this helps!
