Question

Is there any “dialog” that running inside a TTY or x-terminal ? I wanted to make some select operation , e.g configure system service , whether or not should it start at boot time.

I’m not planning to use ncurses library myself , it’s better to work with bash script.

Expected item selection:

---------------------
Item []
Item []
----------------------

Use arrow keys to iterate through those items , and use space to alternate selection of current item , i remeber seeing similar things in RedHat , just not so clear of the command and library.

Thanks !

Maybe dialog --checklist is what you want?
