Set a question mark icon in background tab when user input is required in there
Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
Feature
When you're having one tab open, running a bash script installing a lot of packages via apt and in the next line it requires user input like this:
read -p "Execute operation? yes/no: " answer
if [ $answer == "yes" ]; then
other-long-running-operation?
fi
I would usually do other tasks while the packages are installed so most of the times, I open a new terminal and do work in there. Then the script reaches a point where it requires user input before it can continue. I want to be informed that the script is waiting so I don't assume it's finished, then shutdown my computer and realize that it didn't finish when I'm already on train with no Wifi.
Describe the solution you'd like The tab that is not active and reaches a line where user input is required, should have a question mark icon next to it's title (preferrebly a blue, round icon with white outer border and white question mark in the middle).
Existing work Green check icon is displayed when a command exits with return code 0 in a background tab, red exclamation mark when the result was != 0.
Describe alternatives you've considered Can't think of any at the moment.
