M.sureshkumar — Tue, 20 Apr 2004 22:55:47 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am giving my original script.
Script:

echo
echo ' \c'
tput smso
echo 'WARNING: Training Database ? '
tput rmso
echo ' Are U Sure [Y/N]: \c'
read reply
/data/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx
;;

In the above script,suppose i choose either yes or no then it will go to training database.

Pls modify the script for the below options,

Yes --> /data/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx
No ----> /usr/bin/xxxx

Regards,
M.Suresh

the same is also possible using if then else:

read reply
if [ "$reply" = "Y" -o "reply" = "y" ]
then
/data/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx
elif [ "$reply" = "N" -o "reply" = "n" ]
then
usr/bin/xxxx
else
echo " bad option "
fi

At the begining of the script you have to specify the Shell which you are going to use and ensure that the related binaries are present at there respective location.
for e.g.
#!/usr/bin/sh

Regds,

Kaps

Re: Script

KapilRaj — Wed, 21 Apr 2004 00:41:37 GMT

Use

#!/usr/bin/sh

Also Confirm your executable is present

In /usr/bin/mfgmenu script on 30th line see whether you have a path exported for mfgdems executable / script

Check this

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo
echo ' \c'
tput smso
echo 'WARNING: Training Database ? '
tput rmso
echo ' Are U Sure [Y/N]: \c'
read reply
if [ $reply = "y" -o $reply = "Y" ]
then
echo "Yes"
/data/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx
elif [ $reply = "n" -o $reply = "N" ]
then
echo "No"
/usr/bin/xxxx
else echo "Invalid"
fi

I'd do it this way

#!/usr/bin/sh

TARGET=/data/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx
echo
echo ' \c'
tput smso
echo 'WARNING: Training Database ? '
tput rmso
echo ' Are U Sure [Y/N]: \c'
read reply
[[ $reply == "y" -o $reply == "Y" ]] && TARGET=/usr/bin/xxxx

$TARGET

Apologies, I just got in and already my brain is failing. Scrap that last one. Doesn't work too well if there is user input involved.

KapilRaj — Fri, 23 Apr 2004 03:13:54 GMT

Suresh,

It will always be better not to depend on other's but take their advise and action ur selves....

Your script is a very simple shell script. Let's see what it does ..

Check what is read in "x" variable
if x is

1). Execute /xxx/xxxclst
2). Execute /xxx/xxxclst
3). Read another variable and check it is "y" or "N" and if

Y). Execute /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/
N). Exit
4). Execute /xx/xx/xxx
5). Execute passwd
6). Execute exit

To achieve what u need in 3'rd condition,

You have to add the following lines just after
echo ' Are U Sure [Y/N]: \c'
read REPLY
case $REPLY in
Y) /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/ ;;
N) exit 8 ;;
esac
;;
4) .... Continue with the same script

Regds,

Kaps

Note : People spend lots of time on ur requests did u get a chance to look at the URL on my last query and assign some rewards ?.

Bharat Katkar — Fri, 23 Apr 2004 03:23:49 GMT

Suresh ,
Kapil is right.
I think u need to take look at two aspects.
Your Action / Rewards.
I my self feel very pleasing if anybody helps me when i am in problem.

KapilRaj — Fri, 23 Apr 2004 05:00:46 GMT

Suresh,

I can not believe that ur script worked and it was just a syntax problem ! Your script needs correction from my view it is missing a case /if loop which I have pointed out.
