Basic Menu Templates. 1

[tijerina]

Would anybody have a good template for a menu.

I would like to create a menu using korn and was wondering if there was a template out there. This of course would be an interactive menu. I have some scripts that people in this forum have helped me with. I would like to now have the ability to run these scripts via a menu.

Any ideas?

This is what I have so far and it works good. I would like to add some enhancements, does anybody have any ideas on what I can do to make this menu look better?

Thank you all.

I would use a here document to print the menu in a WYSIWYG mannner, with the case statement like above. Wrap it around a while loop for the exit condition and use function calls to execute commands, scripts, or even display sub-menus:

#! /bin/ksh
function call_a { print a;sleep 1;clear; }
function call_b { print b;sleep 1;clear; }
function call_c { print c;sleep 1;clear; }
function call_d { print d;sleep 1;clear; }

function call_num {
function call_1 { print 1;sleep 1;clear; }
function call_2 { print 2;sleep 1;clear; }
clear
while [[ $ANS1 != 3 ]] ; do
print "\033[01;34m\c"
print "**** Script.sh - Sub Menu ****"
print "\033[0m\c"

cat <<SUBMENU

Would you like to:

1) Run Program 1
2) Run Program 2
3) MAIN MENU

SUBMENU
print -n &quot;Choice: &quot;
read ANS1
case &quot;$ANS1&quot; in
1) call_1 ;;
2) call_2 ;;
*) clear ;;
esac
done
ANS1=
clear
}

### - Display main menu for the user to choose an option
clear
while [[ $ANS != 6 ]] ; do
print &quot;\033[01;34m\c&quot;
print &quot;**** Script.sh - Main Menu ****&quot;
print &quot;\033[0m\c&quot;

cat <<MAIN

Would you like to:

1) Run Program a
2) Run Program b
3) Run Program c
4) Run Program d
5) Run Numbers
6) EXIT

MAIN
print -n &quot;Choice: &quot;
read ANS
case &quot;$ANS&quot; in
1) call_a ;;
2) call_b ;;
3) call_c ;;
4) call_d ;;
5) call_num ;;
*) clear ;;
esac
done
exit

In my office, I use a custom compile of Lynx (most packages flat-out prevent local execution), and html menus with &quot;lynxexec&quot; and &quot;lynxprog&quot; links, and lots of sudo wrapping. The special lynx is also a login shell, so people who are supposed to use the menu are also prevented from breaking out of it.
