Bash script won't run because hardware won't produce display
Can anyone offer any advice on how to modify the script below to work on a new system we have, that has no graphics capability? We admin the system through a serial RAS device. I've tried running the below script through the RAS and through an ssh -X session. It failed with something like "GTK unable to produce display". Python scripts however do produce menus and such on screen and I don't understand the difference. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This script is supposed to produce a text box on screen, that our installers enter a 4 digit code on. That code is checked for validity and if it is, the script completes. I have several other scripts just like this one, all with the same problem. Is is zenity????
Code:
#!/bin/bash
VER=`zenity --entry --text "Please enter the ACG pgm number:" --title "Version Entry"`
if [ -z "$VER" ]; then
echo "ERROR: Version entry was not provided."
exit 1
fi
IS_OK=`echo $VER | egrep "[0-9]{4}"`
if [ -z "$IS_OK" ]; then
zenity --question --text "'$VER' does not appear to be a
valid version string.
Continue anyway?"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Invalid version entry."
exit 1
fi
fi
echo $VER > /etc/acg-oe-pgm

Hello,
After seeing in a Unix cheatsheet that I could add commands into a file and run that file as a command to save on typing, i tried it with this:

Hi all,
I've somehow gained the idea that I _need_ to run at least 1 box with Solaris, but things don't go as I had planned :-)
I pulled this ancient IBM eserver xseries 305 out of the dust, and got myself a fresh copy of the required cd's for Solaris 10u7. FAIL, for some reason the box and the... (7 Replies)
I can't get any bash scripts to run in Terminal (Mac - Snow Leopard). I have the following super-simple script, and I can't get it to execute despite having the correct permissions (I think).

In a bash script I have:
