I am trying to get the backup script that comes with the admin resource kit to work on my RedHat EL 4 box. I followed the instructions on the sxbackup.pdf. When i get to the point of running the setup, i get the following message. I know i am probably missing something really easy.

./setup: line 5: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 20: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 39: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 54: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 67: dialog: command not found

Thanks,
