Off the top of my head, you'd need to install a cgi-enabled webserver and have
bash --> X call a browser with your webpage, and the links there would run
cgi scripts through the server.

There are better ways to do this. I'm a console guy, so I use text scripts,
but I think you need to look into Tcl/Tk or some similar graphical object/
widget language to write pretty X applications.
