Hi all!
I am having a bit of difficulty with writing a script. I am on Linux 8.0
and trying to run a case statement like a would in HP-UX. This is not
working. I looked up the man page on case and it indicated that it was
being obsoleted. The man page suggested that I use switch. When I attempt
to do so, I get a "command not found" error. I am completely lost on what
to do next.
Here is the gist of my case statement a la HP-UX:
read reply
case $reply
1)
Do this
;;
2)
Do this
;;
3)
Do this
;;
'x|X')
Exit
;;
*)
echo error
;;
esac
Please help, I need to be able to read in a value from a menu and run a
corresponding script.
Sincerely,
