Zenity
Zenity is a tool that allows you to display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.

Hello ,
Probably not the place to post this. Looking for a easy way to send notifications when on gnome desktop. Thought Zenity would be the perfect solution. Used a script and 'at'. Nothing pops up on desktop? Watched it with 'top' and it ran. Tried several different options nothing worked. When run from desktop in a script it works great. Even 'killed' its script and its still there. From 'at' nothing?
I love it ... good one
love it...
I read about this program in linux-magazine and decided to give it a try.
zenity helped me a lot at developing bash scripts for non-geeks,
i never liked gui-programming, but with this program its fun and easy !
keep up your good work ! ;-)
Great Work
Really a cool tool.I have implemented GUI for my C program :) Keep up this good work.
xmessage for old computers
This is a very nice program, however I plan on having my program run zenity then xmessage if zenity can't be executed. The whole world does not use Gnome (even as good as it is).
