BTW, what kind of platform and LCD is that?

I would probably get the total number of scripts planned to be run, the total
count, 100% on progress bar from glob() as it's used in rcS.c/_rc(). Then I
would probably update the position of the progress bar, the current % position
in q_initd_complete() callback.

Look at libubox/runqueue.c, search for '->run(' callback.

> q_initd_complete() where the DEBUG(2, “stop %s %s \n”, …) happens?

Look at libubox/runqueue.c, search for '->complete(' callback.

procd is using runqueue task helper, which in turn uses uloop_process_*
functions, so look at libubox at runqueue.c and uloop.c for details.
