Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Running a script from CDE... Post 6470 by Perderabo on Wednesday 5th of September 2001 10:33:11 AM

dtksh was developed to solve problems like this. It is an advanced form of ksh with many add-ons that result in virtually the entire x api being available to the shell programmer. The scripts are really x clients in themselves that can run without using a xterm client for support.

But its power is also its shortcoming. The learning curve is very steep. Sample code:

Code:
widget=${Progs[ii]}
XtGetValues $widget x:x y:y 
XtDestroyWidget $widget
XtCreateManagedWidget BUTTON pushbutton XmPushbutton $BBOARD \
   background:$colorBackSave \
   foreground:$colorForeSave \
   highlightColor:$colorBackGround highlightThickness:0 \
   labelString:$asys2 \
   height:$Bheight width:$bwidth1 x:$x y:$y \
   fontList:"$lblfont" \
   shadowThickness:4
XtAddCallback $BUTTON activateCallback buttonpushed
XTAddCallback $BUTTON armCallback buttonArmed
RequestOp[$BUTTON]=$opsave
RequestArg[$BUTTON]=$asys
Progs[ii]=$BUTTON
ProgsA[$BUTTON]=$ii

That put a pushable button on the screen. But still, if you know x and ksh very well, you can get it done.

Besides dtksh, there are other interpreted lauguages out there with a graphical interface. But dtksh is the only one I have tried.

Another approach is to use html. Then you run a web server and web browser on the same box and let the operator fire up the browser. html is much easier than x.

       /usr/sbin/sysman -station [hostname] [-display display]

OPTIONS

       cation for additional information.
