[TriLUG] Making a bg'd bash script wait for user intervention

[Ken Mink]

I haven't seen it mentioned, so I'll throw this out. If you know
you'll be logged into the console with a window manager running, what
about throwing up a dialog box and getting the input from there? I
seem to recall the gnome and kde both have stand alone dialog boxes
for scripts to obtain input.
