Why not use both:

(Requires bash 4)

#!/usr/bin/env bash t(){ type "$1"&>/dev/null;} function Menu.Show { local DIA DIA_ESC; while :; do t whiptail && DIA=whiptail && break t dialog && DIA=dialog && DIA_ESC=-- && break exec date +s"No dialog program found" done; declare -A o="$1"; shift $DIA --backtitle "${o[backtitle]}" --title "${o[title]}" \ --menu "${o[text]o[question]}" 0 0 0 $DIA_ESC "$@"; } Menu.Show '([backtitle]="Backtitle" [title]="Title" [question]="Please choose:")' \ \ "Option A" "Stuff...." \ "Option B" "Stuff...." \ "Option C" "Stuff...."
