Very Computer

Hi all,

Some time ago I asked if there is a possibility to have GUI access for shell scripts (KSH, AWK, etc...). I was thinking of something similar to DTKSH on Sun or Tru64 Unix (c.q. the Common Desktop Environment).

Though I received a lot of useful suggestions and reactions, none of them filled my needs (sorry...). I decided to program something myself. I did not want to change the sourcecode of existing script interpreters, and I did not feel like implementing 2000 GUI functions either. The concept I thought of, was a kind of server, to which GUI commands can be send (using stdin or a tcp-socket), after which this server takes care of the actual realization of the GUI function. The server in its turn sends info back to the script. I have used GTK as toolkit.

At my website http://www.turtle.dds.nl/gtk-server/ you can download my humble attempts in this direction. Maybe it is of use to somebody else.

Best regards

Peter.

Greetings.

Thanks for posting the link to your site.  I'm currently considering
slapping a GUI on a bash-based project of mine.  Perhaps I'll use your
package.  However, I was wondering if you could also provide me with the
article number of your original request so that I could survey the
alternative suggestions as well.

Regards,
Tristan

Tristan,

You may also wish to consider SATSHELL. The latest version 1.00.01
(Oct 2003) is available from http://www.satisoft.com/satshell

Have you gotten a chance to try C/C++ interpreter Ch shell?

Ch is a C compatible shell and csh is a C like shell.

GTK+ programs, X/Motif(Unix only), Win32 can be run in Ch shell across
platform without compilation.

you can take a look at
