I think several OSes have a tool called 'progress' which sort of

Oh, I wasn't aware that there's some OS specific standard for that.
Having it built-in would be better though. Was 'alarm' removed in
ksh93?
It was (still is) there in [official] ksh93u+. That was the version
I predominantly used on my platforms.
Meanwhile I've replaced the "u+" version by Martijn Dekker's "u+m"
version. (The latter has less bugs and works much more reliable.)
It's just my recent switch that made me notice that in his branch
there's no 'alarm' available any more.
