until [ -n "$CONFIGCACHE" ] && [ -n "$prompt" ] && [ -z `echo $CONFIGCACHE | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e 's/[YN]//g' ` ]
        do
                echo -n "Do you want to configure Cache Manager? [Y/N] "
                read -e -n 1 CONFIGCACHE
                echo ""
                prompt=1
        done

That must be run by bash.

It's a horrible piece of code that would be better written, also for bash, as:

Code:

printf "Do you want to configure Cache Manager? [Y/N] "
while :
do
  read -sn1  CONFIGCACHE
  case $CONFIGCACHE in
    [YNyn]) break ;;
  esac
done
echo

You must run it with bash; no other shell will work for that code.

What command line do you use to run it?

And please post the entire script that contains it.

And post the output of:

Code:

/bin/bash --version
