Zenity is a free software and cross-platform computer program that allows the execution of GTK dialog boxes in command-line and shell scripts.
Description
Like tools such as whiptail and dialog, Zenity allows easy creation of GUIs,[1] though it has fewer features than more complex GUI-creation tools.[2]
Page Template:Blockquote/styles.css has no content.
Other scripting languages such as Perl and Python can be used to construct full-scale GUI applications, but the zenity program enables a shell script to interact with a GUI user.... [The] user interface is not as refined as one that could be provided by a full-featured GUI application, but it is perfectly suitable for simple interactions.
— Chris Tyler[3]
Cross-platform compatibility
As of 2012[update], Zenity is available for Linux, BSD and Windows.[4] A Zenity port to Mac OS X is available in MacPorts and Homebrew.
As of 2018, Zenity ports for Windows are available: zenity-windows (based on version 3.20.0) and winzenity (based on 3.8.0 / statically linked)
Zenity does not possess any built-in scripting capabilities and it must, therefore, rely on an interpreter for processing. One option is Python in combination with the PyZenity library.[5]
Examples
Python example
from PyZenity import InfoMessage
from PyZenity import Question
from PyZenity import ErrorMessage
choice = Question("Please press a button.")
if choice:
InfoMessage("You pressed Yes!")
else:
ErrorMessage("You pressed No!")
POSIX shell script example
#!/bin/sh
if zenity --question --text="Please press a button."; then
zenity --info --text="You pressed Yes\!"
else
zenity --error --text="You pressed No\!"
fi
Windows shell script example
@echo off
zenity --question --ok-label="Yes" --cancel-label="No" --text="Please press a button."
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 goto error
zenity --info --text="You pressed Yes!"
goto end
:error
zenity --error --text="You pressed No!"
:end
