To make this effect Xit cycles through punctuation marks like this " - \ | / - \ | / ... " X(try it to see). By default the character is drawn in inverse video X(or your terminal's equivalent). But you can turn this off with the -i Xswitch. It supports any terminal capable of handling VT100 style escape codes. X XSpinner is useful for keeping telnet and ssh links from dropping due to Xinactivity. Many firewalls, and some ISPs drop connections when they are Xperceived as idle. By having spinner running the server is constantly Xsending a tiny amount of data over the link, preserving the connection. XThus (for search engines) Spinner is an anti-dle, timeout preventing, Xbackground daemon process for unix variants including linux.
