You only need one of the last two things. You have to decide:
a) Want X?
Use Tcl/Tk.
Install both tcl and tk ports.
Examples in /usr/local/lib/tkversion/demos.
b) Work in text mode?
Use dialog.
Comes with base system.
Examples in /usr/share/examples/dialog.
c) Work in text

No experience at all implementing shell wrappers,
I tried installing tcltutor and that's bombing out allover the place.
this is getting too complex, I think I'll load just a desktop gui , and put a
clamav icon on the desktop and just have them right click and scan drive

If one would really want to go with X, Tcl/Tk, as it has been
mentioned by others (and me), is a good way to go. There are
helpful examples installed when you install it on your system.
It's a very easy to learn, but still powerful scripting language
that very well interacts with command line

As for directions:
Use your choice of programming language to write a program that will
call file(1) to determine filesystem, mount the device, virus scan, and
unmount the device. Display prompts and results with dialog(1). Print
results if desired.

Anyway, a bit of DOS batch programming experience helps
people intending to write a /bin/sh shell script, and if
this task is done, a GUI wrapper, either using text mode
with dialog, or using Tcl/Tk in X is quite easy.

Hi all,
I'm planning on setting up a workstation in our library for the SOLE purpose of
scanning flash drives.
My users are 100% windows users, and have never used anything else.
In case you are curious, all usb ports are disabled on ALL windows machines.
So the question is I want to make this

Why? For most users GUIs are far easier to understand and use.
Why?? Because, In this case, the GUI is entirely -un-necessary-. The user
