Bash Script on a Mac creates a info popup

Is there a way in bash on a mac to draw a pretty info box that displays a simple message like "please save all files to /Users/......"

  • You can run fragments of applescript from you bash scripts. A simple popup would look like this:

    #!/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/osascript <<-EOF
    
        tell application "System Events"
            activate
            display dialog "Hello world"
        end tell
    
    EOF
    

    This will feed the applescript between the EOF tags to osascript and execute it
    (resulting in a Hello World popup).
