“‘dialog’ is a utility for building console-based
‘front ends’ in UNIX like operating systems. In this brief tutorial
I am mentioning the usage of few important basic controls available
with this ‘dialog’ utility and later I have created a very simple
front end application in UNIX bash scripting using dialog.“To install ‘dialog’ on your ubuntu:
$ apt-get install dialog
“Box options available with dialog: (Do a ‘man’ of dialog to
know the usage of each control box)–calendar
–checklist
–dselect
