progress:tldr:958e0

progress: Include an estimate of time remaining for completion.
$ progress --wait --command ${firefox}
try on your machine

This command is running the "progress" program with specific options and arguments. Here's a breakdown of the different parts:

  • progress: The actual program being executed.
  • --wait: An option for the "progress" program to wait for the process to finish before exiting.
  • --command: Another option for "progress" program, followed by an argument.
  • ${firefox}: This is a placeholder (variable) that represents the path or command to launch the Firefox web browser. The value of this variable needs to be provided elsewhere or defined within the script or environment.

So basically, this command is using the "progress" program to wait for the specified command (Firefox) to finish executing before exiting. The location or command for Firefox needs to be assigned to the ${firefox} variable.
