looking for a GUI for shell program.

Hi

I've witten a program consisting of several shell scripts using sh/bash.
But am thinking now of providing a X graphical interface for this shell
program.  Any recommendations?

I'm thinking if I use motif (or similar), then I'll end with each action
on a widget giving calls like exec("shell_script_A") which is quite ugly

Of course, I can rewrite everything in tcl/tk, Java Swing, C/Motif, etc.
But I am just wondering if there's a faster way.

Try looking into dtKsh, basically it's ksh93 with X windows primitives

Depending on your programming experience (and you hint that you have
already programmed with Tcl/tk,) it just may easier for you to use tksh:
tcl/tk under ksh93 -- and it's non-commercial.

1. Looking for a user friendly gui fax program

Hi,
    I have been looking at some fax programs for Linux.
I am presently running mostly Redhat 6.1, 6.2 and
at times Mandrake 7.0 and 7.2.
 I have tried installing hylafax and a graphical front end with
no success. I tried xfax and when I brought up the interface,
there seems no way to receive faxes only send them. It
seem tedious to try to use the shell fax programs efax and efix.
It doesn't seem like a great program for business purposes.

                                                            Thanks
                                                                    Mike
