Hi, I was wondering if there was a program anywhere which will open a message
box in X containing a text string that's passed to it.
for example, if I wanted a bash script that would open a message box telling me
of an event when I have no terminals open.
If anyone knows of such a program, or can point me in the direction of making
one (I'm currently learning C) then I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Martin.
