This would mean that standard in is not the keyboard, which is why it's hanging. You can try redirecting standard in from /dev/console (which I've not done, so don't really know what to tell you to expect from that), or redirect from a file you can create in the post via a snippet just prior to executing the bash script with the menu selection, or use "echo" to pipe the menu selection in. mark
