How do i properly use kdialog --yesno

I want this dialog box to pop up asking if i want to upgrade or not but when i say no the command is still executed.
this is my script:

#!/bin/bash

kdialog --title "Scheduled system update" --yesno "System update \
.\n Do you want to update now?"
konsole -e bash -c "sudo tar -cjf /.Backups/Pacman-Db_Backup/pacman-database.tar.bz2 /var/lib/pacman/local && sudo pacman -Syu && sudo sh /home/oblivion/.Scripts/Pacman-Clean.sh"

exit 0

EDIT: I am VERY new at this so if my script makes you want to vomit, i'm sorry.

Re: How do i properly use kdialog --yesno

It probably has a non-zero return value on cancel so check for that:

#!/bin/bash

kdialog --title "Scheduled system update" --yesno "System update \
.\n Do you want to update now?"

if [ $? = 0 ]; then
konsole -e bash -c "sudo tar -cjf /.Backups/Pacman-Db_Backup/pacman-database.tar.bz2 /var/lib/pacman/local && sudo pacman -Syu && sudo sh /home/oblivion/.Scripts/Pacman-Clean.sh"
fi

exit 0
