I was told that getopts with a cease statement might be usefull, but im not sure how to apply it. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Please put code inside [code] tags.

Code:

NAME=$1
NCPUS=$2
MEMORY=$3
IP=$4
MACHINENAME=`hostname`
MASTERHOST=svvnyc702
 
echo "Do you wish to proceed with the creation of UAT ZONE zone-${NAME}, CPU's ${NCPUS}, MEMORY ${MEMORY}, IP ${IP}
<y or n> ? \c"

Code:

while [ -z "$name" ] ## I recommend using lowercase variable names
do
  printf "Enter NAME: "
  read name
done

while [ -z "$ncpus" ]
do
  printf "Enter number of CPUs: "
  read ncpus
done

while [ -z "$memory" ]
do
  printf "Enter memory: "
  read memory
done

read WISH
echo
if [ $WISH = "n" ] ; then
  echo "You chose no, good bye"
  exit
fi
if [ ! $WISH = "y" ] ; then
  echo in vaild optin g - exiting
  exit
fi

Code:

read wish
case $wish in
   n) echo "You chose no, good bye"
      exit ;;
