GUI for using Python's HTTP server (using Zenity)

#!/bin/bash

#
# Requires Zenity to handle GUI output.  Creates a GUI walkthrough to use the built-in
# HTTP server in Python for simple sharing on a LAN.  SECURE YOUR NETWORKS.
# Run this script a second time to kill the server via killall.
# Take out the gksudo portion if you need to

running=$(ps aux | grep -c "python -m SimpleHTTPServer")
# my copy of grep always returns itself, hence it must be greater than 1.  Adjust as needed.
if [ "$running" -gt "1" ];then
    #this is inelegant as all hell, but I can't think of another way if it's running in the bg that can be handled from a GUI interface.
    gksudo killall python -m SimpleHTTPServer
    notify-send --icon=notification-network-wireless-disconnected "Stopped simple sharing."
else
    ans=`$(zenity --question --text "This will start a local webserver; to kill it, run this script again.  Please choose your directory to share in the next step.  Do you wish to continue?"); echo $?`
    if [ "$ans" -lt "1" ]; then
        rawfile=$(zenity --file-selection "--directory" --separator="*" --multiple)
        localip=$(ifconfig | grep -e addr: | grep -e Bcast | awk '{print $2}'| awk -F ":" '{print $2}')
