I personally would use tk, which is en extension to tcl.
However, I believe that there is a perl/Tk, providing the commands, but
accessable from perl.
A command something like:
message .msg -message "Wake up" -type alert -icon question
pops up a message box of one of many types.
Check Perl/Tk. If you are doing this from bash, why not use Tcl? Still, the
message command is the same from both languages.
I bet if Tcl/Tk is installed on your distro (usually is), 'man message'
gives some info.
