In Ubuntu Server 10.04

Sometimes when i’m installing some packages through apt-get, it prompts me with a blue dialog and asks for input/selection.. E.G: when installing mysql-server, it prompts me for a root password..
How can i accomplish this in my own shell script, so that same blue dialog will show up when i need to ask yes/no and password questions?
