I have setup a series of programs for controlling/monitoring/testing some hardware through a serial port that are all command-line based. The engineers working on the project were fine with this, but as they go into production, they need a more dummy-proof interface since they will have many people testing that don't know this as well. I was looking for a good way to make a quick gui, ideally independent of the current programs. I've looked at using something as simple as a shell script wrapper using dialog for the interface to using mozilla's framework for writing a nice gui environment. Other ideas are doing ncurses in perl since my existing scripts are all in perl or even perk/tk or perl/gtk. The last idea was develop a web-based interface since it's easily accessible from other computers.
ncurses might be quicker and fit the bill, though I may still want a gui. It would also be nice to be able to run this from a windoze computer. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
