[bash] Popup/alert window?

[linkmaster03]

How can I spawn a popup/alert window from a terminal? I am on GNOME.

Read up on 'xmessage'.


man xmessage

[unutbu]

zenity --error --text 'Hi linkmaster03!' or
zenity --info --text 'Hi linkmaster03!' or
zenity --warning --text 'Hi linkmaster03!'
For more options, type


man zenity

[linkmaster03]

Thanks unutbu, that's exactly what I was looking for! :D :D

If you want to popup a notification, you can install libnotify-bin (apt:libnotify-bin) and use notify-send.

Hi all,

Is there any way I can have this popup appear at login?

thanks,
Rodrigo

hi @^,
You could do this by modifying the startup processes.
You could first make a bash script of it
#! /bin/bash
{then your code as mentioned above}make it executable usingchmod 777 filenameNow, go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications
Click on the Add button.
Fill in the any desired name and browse in the file location in the command tab (basically you would end up with a command sth as /<somepath>/filename).
And you are done with it.

(You could also make it a command by moving the file to /usr/bin folder)
