Applescript Shell Script Progress

I am creating applescript that creates a backup image of the / Users folder on Mac Os X. I would like to do one of two things:

  • Or the barber’s progress bar will be displayed when the shell script is running with the ability to exit.
  • Display a dialog box when a script is run with the option to exit.

I tried to make a shell script with / dev / null, but ignored all the output. I would like to save the output and display it in a dialog box for the user.

Here is my code:

set computername to (do shell script "networksetup -getcomputername")
set fin to ""
set theIcon to note
tell application "Finder"
    try
        set folderalias to "/Users"
        set foldersize to physical size of folder (alias ":Users") --(info for folderalias) 
        set foldersize to (round ((foldersize / 1.0E+9) * 100)) / 100
    on error
        tell application "System Events"
            set foldersize to (round (((get physical size of folder ":Users" as text) / 1.0E+9) * 100)) / 100
        end tell
    end try
end tell

display dialog "User profile backup utility" & return & return & ¬
    "The computer name is: " & computername & return & return & ¬
    "The '/Users/' directory size is: " & "~" & foldersize & " GB" & return & return & ¬
    "Would you like to backup the '/User' directory now?" & return ¬
    buttons {"Cancel", "Backup Now"} default button "Backup Now"
set comd to "hdiutil create ~/Desktop/" & computername & ".dmg -srcfolder /test/"
set fin to do shell script (comd) with administrator privileges
display dialog fin
