Re: [expert] menu in bash script
Thanks all for the help and direction. You are all very kind. Always glad to help! :-) The case why I asked for this help is that we have a project to install Linux servers on several locations with the same/very similar settings. Unfortunately, the hardware is varied between locations so 'ghosting hdd is not the solutions. I'm too about to write an auto-rescue-install for my own linux distro :-P Thanks again. Good luck!

Re: [expert] menu in bash script
The case why I asked for this help is that we have a project to install Linux servers on several locations with the same/very similar settings. Unfortunately, the hardware is varied between locations so 'ghosting hdd is not the solutions. I wrote the following script to do something similar. It was used to install an embedded system with a canned set of packages. There are a couple other files associated with it that I've long lost, but it's easy enough to figure out. http://www.digitalhermit.com/~kwan/install_system -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Copy /etc/wvdial.conf' 'Make directory /var/log/nullmailer' 'Do all of above'; do echo $REPLY; done You could do a case on the $REPLY. Unfortunately this command keeps asking until you press Ctrl-D.

Besides the case operator that someone else has mentioned, you can also use the dialog utility to create menu boxes. For example: dialog --clear --backtitle A Checkbox --title Choose one: \ --menu Please select one item:\n 30 30 8 \ Item1 Choose me \ Item2 No, choose me \ Item3 Better choose me The selection will be sent to stderr which you can either capture to a file or read directly. You'll still need the case operator or nested ifs to act on the user choice. Dialog will also do text input, checkbox, radiobox, etc.. If dialog is cumbersome but you do like the interactivity, take a look at the newt package. It has some very easy ways of generating similar menus. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
