The jalert Notification Panel
The
jalert application is just a wrapper around the
j:alert procedure in the
jalert.tcl library. It's intended to make the functionality of
j:alert conveniently available from shell scripts.
This help file describes
jalert version 1998.09.30.
Copyright and contact information is available in
the
jstools documentation.
jalert
[-title

[-text

Invoking
jalert causes a panel to appear with the title
title, displaying
text, with an OK button. When the user clicks OK,
jalert exits.
Both
title and
text are
localisable.
For more details, see the documentation for
j:alert in the
jalert.tcl library.
Future Directions
* It might be nice to be able to force the window to be centred
regardless of the user's preferences (or lack of them).
