1 - Yeah, that's what I meant. Put the message that the process is starting, BEFORE it starts.

case vs if ? Use case when there are multiple options. Use if when there aren't.

Note, I would have done it a little different:

read answer
ans=`cat $answer"N" | cut -c1-1 | tr "y" "Y"`
if [ $ans = "Y" ]

This accomplishs a couple things: It adds a default answer. Uses only the first character, doesn't care if it's upper or lower case.

If there were multiple choices, I'd use the same type of logic to get A, B, C... responses, and then use case:

read answer
ans=`cat $answer"X" | cut -c1-1 | tr "a-z" "A-Z"`
case $ans in
