Hi Y'all, I'm working on a set of scripts for backups, and I've hit a snag in a script that burns images to CDs. I need it to wait for user intervention in certain situations (no CD in drive, CD not blank, swap CDs now, etc). I've got the various conditions mapped out in the script; all I need is a way to make it wait for me to say "go", basically. The trick is that the process may be backgrounded, so it can't be simply waiting for Enter on stdin (or can it?). I tried suspend, but I get suspend: cannot suspend: no job control
Is there another simple method to make a bash script wait for a signal? Or else, what do I need to do to make suspend work? Thanks muchly, ~Brian ---------------- Brian A.
