True! It appears that I did not have the capability to pinpoint the function $DISPLAY. Maybe I will improve with experience.
Now the main issue:
How to send any popups to the background?

Because the message boxes showed precisely those messages like SCANNING DEVICE, Looking for PPPoE Access Concentrator on... and multi-modem mode... So I guessed... turns out they were wrong guesses!

That is not a reasonable solution ;) because I need the script to run iteratively ... Okay! Thank you. But how did you arrive at the conclusion?! Could you give me a hint or two? that is, why not...

We are aware that an "&" at the end of each command executes it in background.
How can I send the message box generated from the following code to the background:

A few concrete links please... :) What I want to do is to read/write the sim filesystem via pcmanfm or nautilus and read the files with editors. The stackoverflow site does NOT contain explicit...

Could you please inform which modules do I need to install to access the filesystem of a SIM card and read data from it? It could be any standard GSM SIM card.
I have read this post:...

I am sorry I could not explain myself. It would be like a syllabus - a guideline, like say first, para(1) to para(3) from page xxx, second para(3) to para(5) from page yyy, and so on and so forth......

Wow! Thanks. Why don't you guys prepare a guideline for us novices to ease our learning bash scripting?!

As I stated earlier, it reported about unary operator: "unary operator expected"
If you don't have pressing work at hand could you look into this please? Script hat manipulates strings within it

I want the following script to check the speed of the internet data transfer, and if it is slow or off, invoke pppoeconf for access concentrator

Not if I have compatriots and OSS enthusiasts like you! Thank you

Baptism by fire... :) I know the definitions, they're in the file. I wanted to know if this is inbuilt? If so, it would provide me an opportunity to go through the source code to see how it's done. ...

I am so sorry! I didn't know changing the heading will create two seperate threads. Actually, I come from Debian and in Debian forum you could do it. I apologise.

And please delete the first post.

I am sorry, I have indeed used backticks in the original script. I just typed wrong here.

I have to say I have tried the double quote around the variable, and this makes the script useless! You...

I have tested with quotes. It ruins the script.
