Assuming that return value is 1 for “cancel” and 0 for “ok” you will want to use:
#!/bin/sh
#InputBox1Test
title=$(zenity --entry --text 'Type what you want your Notification Title to Say!' --title 'Notification')
[[ "$?" != "0" ]] && exit 1
text=$(zenity --entry --text 'Type what you want your Notification body to Say!' --title 'Notification')
[[ "$?" != "0" ]] && exit 1
DISPLAY=:0.0 notify-send "$title" "$text"
You can make a longer traditional check like this:
if [[ "$?" != "0" ]] ; then
exit 1
fi
however I like the shortcut of:
[[ "$?" != "0" ]] && exit 1
No matter which method you choose the importance is consistency with your programming style so those that follow in your footsteps and maintain your code can think inside your head.
