I'm not clear on what you are trying to do or when but you might look
at zenity or dialog for popping up dialogs to the user.

OK, zenity will display the dialog box, but where do I place the
command so that the dialog box is displayed either before or after the
user >>logs in via gdm?
Hi Bill,
I had to do a similar thing recently. This is how I did it:
1/ Place banner message in /etc/issue
2/ Added the following to /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default and to
/etc/X11/gdm/Init/0:
# Login banner
if ! /usr/bin/gdialog --textbox /etc/issue 60 100; then
sleep 10
exit 1;
fi
I know nothing about zenity but I presume you could put a zenity
command(?) into the Default and 0: files instead of the gdialog command
and get similar results.
I had to do some extra work to make sure this worked for ssh logins too.
[root@mach2 Init]# gdialog --help
gdialog is a compatibility wrapper around zenity, provided to hopefully
allow older scripts to run. If you are reading this message, you should
probably be using zenity directly
type: 'zenity --help' or 'man zenity' for more information
[root@mach2 Init]#
Thanks for the help. I'll try it.
