[Gnumed-devel] Improving echoed lines in upgrade-db.sh

[Busser, Jim]

Hi,

When I ran ./upgrade-db.sh, the terminal output includes

        1) creating backup of existing database ...
        Note that this may take a substantial amount of time and disk space!
        You may need to type in the password for gm-dbo.
        [  ] <------- steady block cursor

Until I knew better (and ran the script sufficiently often to remember), I had 
found myself wondering

- am I supposed to do something?
- did I fail to understand the cursor as inviting me to input gm-dbo?
        --> except that if I put it in, and hit return, nothing happens …

So -- as trivial as my suggestion might seem -- can the echo lines be adjusted 
to the following, if correct, where the ellipses will make it clearer that time 
is needed before the user can do anything?

        1) creating backup of the database that is to be upgraded ...
        You will be prompted if you need to type in the password for gm-dbo.
        This step may take a substantial amount of time and disk space ...
        [  ] <------- steady block cursor
