What is the best way to provide status during a long %post/%pre script to a tmux-wrapped kickstart session?

[Daniel Kimsey]

I'd like my %post scripts to be able to emit messages to the status screen to give feed-back on progress. Is there any built-in mechanism to do this?

I've seen (and used) the older tricks to switch the vtty. But on the newer tmux-wrapped kickstart that doesn't feel correct. I cannot find anything in the docs that suggests how I might perform this and reading the source[0] suggests theres no function to do it.

Thank you
