A menubar icon (assuming you're meaning Mac OS (or any OS really)) is not something you get from a simple shell script, typically. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Normally a gui tool doesn't advertize how you invoke it from the commandline, but there are plenty of cases where the command-line invoked application doesn't retain the foreground while running. This tool is probably non-interactive at the console, I have zero expectation that it won't fork off into the background.
