I have written many ksh scripts for the installation and configuration of a server . All the scripts are interactive scripts. Yes or no interactive questions like

You are about to configure rootvg on LAB992 running 6.1
Do you want to continue? (Y/N)

If i press 'y' its gonna continue if 'n' its gonna continue with the next script. But if its a different letter ie i fat finger it , it aborts.

You are about to configure rootvg on LAB992 running 6.1

t
Ok - we are aborting now

If i fatfinger it, i wanted the script to take a loop back and ask the same question. I tried to search for it but couldnt. thanks
