FMLI Availability on HP-UX

[Curtis L. Cross]

Does anyone know of a Menu creation package similiar to fmli found on SVR4 platforms.

Hi Curtis

Why now script a menu?
Example:-
--------------cut here---------------
continue="yes"
while [ "$continue" = "yes" ]
do
clear
echo " SYSTEMS MAIN MENU "
echo " -------------------------------- "
echo "| 0 : VIEWDATA Quiescence |"
echo "| 1 : SYSTEM CONTROL |"
echo "| 2 : SPIDERS |"
echo "| x : Exit Menu |"
echo " -------------------------------- "
read ans
case $ans in
0) ./sysadmin/menus/que
;;
1) ./sysadmin/menus/control
;;
2) ./sysadmin/menus/spider
;;
x) continue="no"
;;
esac
done

--------------cut here---------------

Curtis:

Take a look at the "key" shell. From the man pages for 'keysh': 'keysh' is an extension of the standard Korn shell that uses hierarchical softkey menus and context-sensitive help to aid users in building command-lines, combining the power of the Korn-shell with the ease-of-use of a menu system.

Hopefully this will help you.

We're in the processing of porting an application from a SVR4 box to a HP platform. The current system utilitizes the fmli package as a front-end menu for a number of end-users. Maintaining a script using any of the HP-UX / Unix shells would be a last resort.
