how to display dialog box from shell?

[shpokas]

Hi there,
I am quite new to OS X and actually come from Linux world if that matters. I wonder how do I display a dialog box from shell (bash). In Linux I would do that with zenity (Gnome desktop) or kdialog (KDE).
Thanks in advance!

You could use an Applescript from the shell script:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/osascript <<EOT
	tell application "Finder"
		display dialog "It Works!"
	end tell
EOT

You could do it with AppleScript (which can be called from a shell script - see this Unix FAQ).

Or use Pashua.

Also look into using Platypus.
