Why is sudo bash needed?

What is the easiest way to create a GUI for a bash script that takes multiple text inputs at the same time?

• I have some bash script to create a simple verification test-bench which takes some argument like agent name, driver name, sequencer name etc. Now I want to create a gui for this bash script in which there will be some button like create or add, some text boxes to write parameter (i.e. agent class name, agent name ) which will then assign as the input parameter for that bash script. I am a complete novice in GUI design. So I am looking for some software that can create a gui by using drag and drop. Also I will be needed some tutorial to understand how to add my bash script with this GUI.

• Answer:

  If you are looking for UI programming in command line itself, then the answer to be looking for is using ncurses. For reference (and even re-use) you can see the Linux kernel build configuration system 'menuconfig' . It uses the ncurses library based implementation present in kernel code itself (under scripts/kconfig/) to draw UI, provide user input dialog etc. Edit #2: For creating a full fledged separate UI, with dialog are the usual requirements & still not sacrificing on flexibility of scripting would be to use scripting languages such as python(using http://www.wxpython.org/ , you create quite some intuitive User Interfaces). P.S: Using python and wxpython is something just popped in to my mind, in fact there are quite a lot of tools & scripting languages out there which will serve the same purpose.
