Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Create GUI or Executable For Script Post 302381268 by quirkasaurus on Thursday 17th of December 2009 04:23:36 PM

Basic premise of solution:

create a login on the unix account that has permissions to run this script.
In the last line .profile ( or .login ) of the account's home directory,
add the line:

exec /fullpath/to/my/script

Then, simply create a DOS batch program that fires up the Xterm which can be configured to auto-login to the UNIX.

Bam and bam.

this solution would work with the Xstart program provided by Hummingbird X-server.
and a dos bat file.

oh.... and perl Tcl/Tk interface lets you do X-based graphics programs.

there was another X-based UNIX scripting language that was reeeeally easy to
use, but it's not on my system.... I think it began with the letter "z" and someone
on this site once mentioned it. I totally forgot what it was.
will research and get back with you.

Found it. The name of the UNIX Graphics tool is "zenity".
