Did you even try it?

Add /full/path/to/uni1.sh as shown:

Code:
[...]
case "$REPLY" in
1) echo "Start script 1 ($choice)." ; /full/path/to/uni1.sh;
[...]

That will echo out your chice to the command line and thenm call your uni1.sh script. It is good practice to add your full path in case the outer script is called from a different location.

airport2-ipinspector

AIRPORT2-IPINSPECTOR(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   AIRPORT2-IPINSPECTOR(1)

NAME

       airport2-ipinspector - WAN monitoring utility for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow")

SYNOPSIS

       airport2-ipinspector

DESCRIPTION

       airport2-ipinspector  monitors the WAN interface of the base station and sends an email notification whenever the external (WAN) IP address
       of the base station changes.

OPTIONS

       airport2-ipinspector accepts no command-line options. airport2-ipinspector is a wrapper script around the IPInspector.jar jar file  located
       in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You  can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use.  By  default,  the  wrapper  uses  JAVACMD;  if  it  is  not  set,  it	looks  for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
