Dare do explain why? If all you need is a form to pop up and some way to save the data, this is probably the least steep learning curve for anyone who already has to work on a UNIX but is clueless about it.
- overgard 5y agoA few reasons: - Now you can't use these shell scripts purely on the shell - Bash is a terrible language for writing complex programs. If you actually are at the point where you need a GUI your program is complex enough that you should use a scripting language. It's going to be more maintainable, probably shorter. I don't really buy that bash is more accessible to non-programmer ops people. If you're getting to the point where you're writing a GUI, you are programming, you're just programming in a bad/slow language.
