Hi,
I am trying to use the "dialog" command from a shell script.
A couple of questions:
1) Is it a better way of read the result than, in example:
#!/bin/sh
dialog --inputbox text 10 30 2> /tmp/input.dialog
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
clear
exit 0
fi
ANS=`cat /tmp/input.dialog`
echo "You typed: $ANS";
2) Is possible to play with the variables, usually find in .dialogrc,
during the script itself, in example, changing the color of the background
or using shadow or not (Linux version has the switch --noshadow for example)
Thanks to everyone.
