交互式shell脚本对话框----whiptail指令

当你在linux环境下setup软件的时候就会有相应的对话框让你输入。虽然我们已经习惯了这种交互的方法，但是如果有一种直观的界面来输入是不是会更加友好和方便呢，在shell脚本中你可以使用-whiptail指令来完成。

消息框

语法：

whiptail --title "<message box title>" --msgbox "<text to show>" <height> <width> 

实例：

whiptail --title "Message box title" --msgbox " Choose Ok to continue." 10 60

 yes/no对话框

语法：

whiptail --title "<dialog box title>" --yesno "<text to show>" <height> <width> 

实例：

#!/bin/bash
if (whiptail --title "Yes/No Box" --yesno "Choose between Yes and No." 10 60) then
    echo "You chose Yes. Exit status was $?."
else
    echo "You chose No. Exit status was $?."
fi

或者也可以是自定义的选项，实例如下：

#!/bin/bash
if (whiptail --title "Yes/No Box" --yes-button "Man" --no-button "Woman"  --yesno "What is your gender?" 10 60) then
    echo "You chose Man Exit status was $?."
else
    echo "You chose Woman. Exit status was $?."
fi

当选择左边选项的时候输出的是0，选择右边选项的时候输出的是1。

表单输入框

语法：

whiptail --title "<input box title>" --inputbox "<text to show>" <height> <width> <default-text>

实例：

#!/bin/bash
NAME=$(whiptail --title "Free-form Input Box" --inputbox "What is your pet's name?" 10 60 Peter 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)

exitstatus=$?
if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
    echo "Your name is:" $NAME
else
    echo "You chose Cancel."
fi

 密码输入框

语法：

whiptail --title "<password box title>" --passwordbox "<text to show>" <height> <width>

实例：

#!/bin/bash
PASSWORD=$(whiptail --title "Password Box" --passwordbox "Enter your password and choose Ok to continue." 10 60 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)

exitstatus=$?
if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
    echo "Your password is:" $PASSWORD
else
    echo "You chose Cancel."
fi

菜单栏

提供一个单项选择的菜单栏

语法：

whiptail --title "<menu title>" --menu "<text to show>" <height> <width> <menu height> [ <tag> <item> ] . . .

实例：

#!/bin/bash

"1" "Python" \
"2" "Java" \
"3" "C" \
"4" "PHP"  3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)

exitstatus=$?
if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
    echo "Your favorite programming language is:" $OPTION
else
    echo "You chose Cancel."
fi

此处的选择输出的内容为你选择的标签的‘tag’位置，上面实例中的‘1’、‘2’、‘3’、‘4’
