xterm pop-out
Good day!
We're working on a project using SUN Solaris UNIX. The project requires that based on a text file containing different dates, an xterm window will pop-out and display a simple message. We've already tried running this by including it in the cronjob but doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to automatically trigger or call the xterm command for us to do this purpose? Thanx! Ciao!

Anyone know of a way to create a pop-up window using X11? I'm not to sure where to start. I just think it would be neat to do. So I was hoping someone out there had documentation on how to go about this, or if I was going to have to write/compile a program to do so.
Thank you!

NAME
resize - set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current xterm window size
SYNOPSIS
resize [-u] [-c] [-s[row col]]
OPTIONS
The following options may be used with resize: This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if the user's cur-
rent shell is not /bin/sh. This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell is not
/bin/csh. This option indicates that Sun console escape sequences will be used instead of the special xterm escape code. If rows and col-
umns are given, resize will ask the xterm to resize itself. However, the window manager may choose to disallow the change.
DESCRIPTION
The resize command prints a shell command for setting the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size of xterm win-
dow from which the command is run. For this output to take effect, resize must either be evaluated as part of the command line (usually
done with a shell alias or function) or else redirected to a file which can then be read in. From the C shell (usually known as /bin/csh),
the following alias could be defined in the user's
% alias rs 'set noglob; eval `resize`'
After resizing the window, the user would type: % rs
Users of versions of the Bourne shell (usually known as /bin/sh) that do not have command functions will need to send the output to a tem-
porary file and the read it back in with the "." command:
$ resize > /tmp/out
$ . /tmp/out
FILES
for the base termcap entry to modify. user's alias for the command.
BUGS
The -u or -c must appear to the left of -s if both are specified.
