Here is a simple example using the PowerShell progress bar. The code displays a progress bar counting down a break. Simply adjust the number of seconds you’d like to pause. You could use this example for displaying breaks in classes or conferences:
$seconds = 60 1..$seconds | ForEach-Object { $percent = $_ * 100 / $seconds Write-Progress -Activity Break -Status "$($seconds - $_) seconds remaining..." -PercentComplete $percent Start-Sleep -Seconds 1 }
