Pop-up window in KDE/GNOME
Hello there,
Maybe this is not the best place to ask but I would be interested how I could write a script/app which basically would pop up a window for my users when they are logged on via the xserver (KDE/gnome) as I would like to schedule it. This would be for requesting some information of the users and getting a view who is using which workstation. Could you please give me an idea where I could start to have a look at? thx, joey

Use zenity. It is a program that will display GTK+ dialogs (Gnome), and return (either in the return code, or on standard output) the users input. This allows you to present information, and ask for information from the user, from all manner of shell scripts.
Hello world code: Code:
zenity --info --text "Hello world" Code:
zenity --info --text "All updates are complete. System will reboot now" Code:
#!/bin/bash # Get input fileName=$(zenity --entry --text "Enter a file name to delete: " --title "File Delete") # now verification zenity --question --text "Are you sure?" --title "Delete - $fileName" retVal=$? [ $retVal -eq 0 ] && /bin/rm $fileName HTH

GUI Programming in Python
More info about GUI scripting programming:
If you need more hard core GUI stuff you can use X Windows, KDE (Qt and KDE) and Gnome SDK and so on. Good luck!
