Greq

If you are looking for a shell tool to build GTK+ dialogs, Greq could be the solution you need. This program offers a simple way to create requesters directly from within a shell script. This feature is especially beneficial while writing shell scripts that require user input through a GUI.

With Greq, you can create GTK+ dialogs quickly and easily. It allows you to add elements to the dialog box, such as text fields, checkboxes, and more. Plus, you can customize the dialog box using various options.

For instance, here's an example of how you can use Greq to construct a simple dialog. The below command would build a dialog with the title "Dial Up" that includes an "Username" field, an "Password" field, and a checkbox that reads "Remember Password":

greq -t"Dial Up" -eUsername -EPassword -c"Remember Password"

Overall, Greq is a handy tool that every shell script developer should know about. In the most recent release, the configure.in file got a new revision, which shows that the team behind Greq is continuously working to make improvements.
