Good Morning,
I am attempting to set some scripts up that when double clicked will open an xterm windows and echo to the user steps on what they need to input. The first one I am attempting is to change the computer name. Can someone help me out here? I think I just need a push in the general direction.

By BASH (or DASH) you can (in terminal emulator) echo messages, read input from user and execute commands, too.
But only root can change host name.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

To change the computer name (hostname) easily, you can use hostnamectl.
Or you do this "by hand" by (stream) editing /etc/hostname, /etc/mailname (if you run a mail server), and /etc/hosts (the entry for 127.0.1.1).
