Looking for an alternative to Tcl
I've created quite a collection of tcl scripts which have buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, text fields, etc. These tcl scripts in turn call and execute several hundred sh, csh, bash, perl scripts and pass in the args based on the gui selections on the same and other redhat machines. We're switching to a set of machines which does not have tcl and I'm not allowed to add it.
I'd like to keep all my shell scripts and find another gui writing tool. I'm a pretty good scripter but an no programmer or coder by any stretch of the imagination. All the alternatives I've looked at look like coding. Any suggestions for a package that allows for quick gui building which can call and pass args to all my shell scripts?

Does anyone have an example of parsing command line arguments similar to how getopts parse command line arguments?
