Simple little script, based on Zenity, that delivers a random string through a GUI. As Zenity is GTK+ based it works best in Gnome.
#!/bin/sh $(zenity --title="Random Generator" --question --text="Extra Cryptic?") if [ $? -eq 0 ] then LENGTH=`zenity --title="Random" --entry-text="12" --entry --text="Lenght of Password (max 60):"` RANDOM=`head -c 45 /dev/random | uuencode - | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | cut -c -$LENGTH` zenity --title="Random Cryptic" --entry-text=$RANDOM --entry --text="Random output:" exit 0 else LENGTH=`zenity --title="Random" --entry-text="12" --entry --text="Lenght of Password (max 60):"` RANDOM=`head -c 45 /dev/random | uuencode -m - | tail -n 2 | head -n 1 | cut -c -$LENGTH` zenity --title="Random Base64" --entry-text=$RANDOM --entry --text="Random output:" exit 0 fi fi
