Disk Utility and Installer can do this because they control everything that's happening -- they don't just issue a single unix command and wait for it to be done, "monitoring" the progress in some way. They have a series of steps they go through and each step counts for some known percentage... which eventually adds up to 100%.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'm sure that Disk Utility runs diskutil's repairPermissions command and feeds the output to a textfield, but what are the other steps they go through to figure out how much of the command is done? I don't see how it works :-)

Thanks again

Rakka
