A colored unpack script using bar:
A little KSH93 function for your .profile. Now you can augomatically unpack most archives while watching the pretty progress bar.
You need bsdprogress (Solaris and Linux port of NetBSD's progress). With a bit work it also works on AIX.
I just re-wrote this for progress, so I didn't check the cpio and such yet.
# Mihai Criveti - Unpack function:
# Progress Unpack - unpack using GNU tar and bsdprogress.
function up {
for archive in $*; do
print $archive;
case $archive in
(*.tar) progress -f $archive gtar xpif - ;;
(*.tar.gz) progress -f $archive gtar -zpixf - ;;
(*.tgz) progress -zf $archive gtar -ipxf - ;;
(*.tar.bz2) progress -f $archive gtar -jipxf - ;;
(*.tbz) progress -f $archive gtar -jipxf - ;;
(*.gz) progress -f $archive gunzip -;;
(*.bz2) progress -f $archive bunzip -;;
(*.tar.Z) uncompress -c $archive | tar gxvf - ;;
(*.cpio) cpio -icd < $archive ;;
(*.Z) uncompress $archive ;;
(*.rar) unrar x $archive ;;
(*.zip) unzip $archive ;;
esac
done
}
Let's say we want to unpack files that end in *bz2 (it will automagically detect .tar.bz2 or tbz2), *gz and a specific tar archive:

See:

It builds fine on AIX (Makefile tweaks), Solaris and Linux. Native on NetBSD.
