[TynesideLUG] Doing GUI (GTK+) stuff from the command line

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

This was briefly mentioned in the LUG. I stumbled across something possibly
useful today...

There is a tool, zenity, (from the package zenity), which can provide GUI
like behaviour from a shell script. It takes parameters, returns info by 1)
writing choice info to standard output (stdout) and its conventional return
value ($?).

See here:

HTH,


Ian
