Paper: GUI-fying and Documenting your Shell Script

Abstract: We describe a simple method to annotate shell scripts and have a preprocessor extract a set of variables, present them to the user in a GUI (using Tcl/Tk) with context sensitive help, and run the script. It then becomes also very easy to rerun the script with different values of the parameters and accumulate output of different runs in a set of user defined areas on the screen, thereby generating a very powerful survey and analysis tool.
