Here's an example from Richard Petersen's handy
Linux Programmer's Reference: (Good book to have around)
#!/bin/bash
#Program to allow the user to select different
#ways of listing files
echo s. List Sizes
echo l. List All file info
echo c. List C files
echo -n "Please enter choice: "
read choice
case $choice in
s)
ls -s
;;
l)
ls -l
;;
c)
ls *.c
;;
*)
echo Invalid Option
esac
copy it, save it as, for example, lschoice, and chmod u+x so that you can
execute it by typing ./lschoice
