I have a whipail dialog where I display a dashboard:
source ../script/includes/tasks

pick_task () {
    local options=(
        "$LOGS_TASK" "Check the logs of a service"
        "$KILL_TASK" "Kills a service"
        "$KILL_ALL_TASK" "Kills all services"
        "$SELECT_TASK" "Allows you to select the services you want to run" 
    )

    local menu_height="${#options[@]}"
    local dialog_height=$((menu_height + 9))
    local dialog_width=80

    result=$(whiptail --title "Dashboard" --menu "What do you want to do?" "$dialog_height" "$dialog_width" "$menu_height" "${options[@]}" 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)
    echo $result
}
This works fine but I'd like to also display some additional information in this window that dynamically refreshes. Is it possible to refresh this dialog while it is open?
