All, I have been looking at zenity to pop up messages on the X screen. Is there another alternative to zenity that I have not found? I need to be able to completely remove the OK button, I cannot find a way in zenity to do this. also It would be nice to have a --timeout 5 option on the command line also. Any suggestions? Jerry

I'm trying to install a custom greeter into a newly installed 64-bit Centos 5 system. I originally tried to modify Xsession to include xpop /path/to/text_to_dispay as the first executable line, but that didn't work. Then I read about gdmconfig which led to gdmsetup which led to custom.conf. Nothing, so far, is producing a custom banner prior to login. Is this an issue with CentOS

Is there a method to display pop up messages on X display? I found xmessage, however I was hoping for something a little more flexible. like being able to tell xmessage to display a file (typically one line in the file). then send it a signal to tell it to re-read the file and show the new data. Sure I can kill it and re-show it but that isnt very nice... Is there something available in centos
