Zenity

Its been ten years since I was introduced to UNIX, and there are still so many things to learn. Today while browsing at my favorite UNIX forums, I saw a question: help - something doesn't work with zenity.

I had never heard of zenity, and the question aroused my interest to know what it was about. After following the rule do a web search before you ask, I discovered that zenity was present at my system! And I didn't knew that. Poor me.

I never knew that we could pop up a dialog box from a shell script. Here's how.

zenity --info --title "Hi" --window-icon=none --text "Howdy world\!"

A look at the man page and I got answer to that question
