I'm writing a shell script as the server the script is going to be
running on hasn't got X installed, not to mention it's also got no
keyboard or mouse.

If it was on a normal Linux desktop, I would have probably bodged
something together in Gambas (as my C knowlegdge extends to something
like writing 'Hello World' on the screen :-D)
