Hello list,

Is there such trick, or could anyone think of reasonable solution for 
animated shell prompt? 

I mean something like twirling baton -/|\-/|\... somewhere, 
indicating that system is alive (and possibly, roughly, how much 
loaded it is), or time display along with standard 
"user@machine:path$", or even kind of animated ASCII art (which could 
be a hint as for possible solution - at least for terminals capable 
of such feature).

Happy hacking! Anyone?.. ;)
