I've just installed the new version 1.2.1.5, as stated the read problems fixed, although "tput cup 8 38" seems to miss the target.

I removed a couple of echo lines to neaten the script before I emailed it, hence I messed up the tput positioning. The reverse video is correct, according to the tput man page this is bold on/off, I guess in depends of the terminals capabilities. The script I attached yesterday only ran under a bash shell. As I had implicitly specified /bin/sh on line 1. I have altered the script today to make it run under fish. --------------Start ------------------------ #!/usr/bin/fish if test "$OPSYSTEM" = "TANDEM"; set VIEWER "more" else set VIEWER "less" end set menu "" while test "$menu" != "x"; tput clear tput smso echo 'Sample menu' tput rmso echo '1. Show disk space' echo '2. Show uptime' echo '3. Show /var/log/messages' echo '4. Show /etc/hosts' echo '5. Show network configuration' echo 'x. Exit to shell' echo '' echo 'Select Option [1 - 5 or x to Return] :' tput cup 8 38 read menu tput clear switch $menu case 1 df -H case 2 uptime case 3 tail /var/log/messages case 4 cat /etc/hosts | $VIEWER case 5 ifconfig | $VIEWER end echo '** Press <ENTER> **' set press "" read press end --------------End ------------------------ Running the script seems to start an infinite loop, instead of stopping to acquire the users input, the menu gets printed time after time. I cannot tell if the tput cursor position line works correctly. Have I got something wrong? -----Original Message----- From: Axel Liljencrantz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 April 2006 10:06 To: ray hammond Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Fish-users] tput commands On 4/18/06, ray hammond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is a sample script > > --------------Start ------------------------ > #!/bin/sh > > if test "$OPSYSTEM" = "TANDEM" > then > VIEWER="more" > else > VIEWER="less" > fi > > menu="" > > while test "$menu" != "x" > do > > tput clear > tput smso > echo 'Sample menu' > tput rmso > echo '1.

This works for me, except that the cursor is placed two lines below the specified option. But that is as it should be, it is placed on line 10 as per the tput command. Also, my terminal doesn't bold the menu, it reverses the video, but smso only specifies 'standout mode'. Is it the case that this does not work on your system when the command is started from fish, but it does work when started from bash? If so, try adding a 'reset' command at the top. If this helps, fish must leave your terminal in a wonky state on startup. -- Axel -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
