menu creator

[Mark VineGar]

Is anyone aware of an HP-UX utility that generates menus? Is it a standard command or an application that needs to be installed? I remember hearing something about this years ago.
Thanks
Mark

You can create custom menus in sam and use restricted sam to grant access. Is that what you are looking for?

Mark,

Possibly you're referring to the "select/case" construct. It goes something like this:

PS3="Enter your selection"
select blah in "blah1 blah2 blah3"
do
case $blah in
"blah1" )
do something
"blah2" )
do something else
"blah3" )
do some other thing
"Exit" )
echo exiting...
exit 0;;
* )
echo "Please try again"
esac
done


See the attached example.

Yes. The SELECT was what I was referring to. Thanks a bunch Pete. I'll also look at the SAM option. Thanks James.
