I am writing a simple basic bash script (starting with #! /bin/bash, file format is.sh) and I am trying to make a progress bar work: #!/bin/bash echo 'You are running in LXDE mode. Answer 'yes' or 'no' on the following question to continue (or not) in LXDE mode.' Zenity -question will return the user's answer in its exit code. You can collect it from the $? Special variable, like so. Zenity -question -text='Are you there?' Or use it directly in a conditional like this. If zenity -question -text='Do you want to answer stupid questions?' Then zenity -entry. Fortran for mac free download. The Julia Programming Language Julia is a fast, open source high-performance dynamic language for technical computing.

Zenity is free software and a cross-platform program that allows the execution of GTKdialog boxes in command-line and shell scripts.
Description[edit]
Like tools such as whiptail and dialog, Zenity allows easy creation of GUIs,[1] though it has fewer features than more complex GUI-creation tools.[2]
Other scripting languages such as Perl and Python can be used to construct full-scale GUI applications, but the zenity program enables a shell script to interact with a GUI user.... [The] user interface is not as refined as one that could be provided by a full-featured GUI application, but it is perfectly suitable for simple interactions.
Cross-platform compatibility[edit]
As of 2012, Zenity is available for Linux, BSD and Windows.[4] A Zenity port to Mac OS X is available in MacPorts and Homebrew.
As of 2018, Zenity ports for Windows are available: zenity-windows (based on version 3.20.0) and winzenity (based on 3.8.0 / statically linked)
Zenity does not possess any built-in scripting capabilities and it must, therefore, rely on an interpreter for processing. To create a script that runs on more than one platform without extensive modifications, it would be best to use an interpreter that is available on the widest range of operating systems. One option is Python in combination with the PyZenity library.[5]
