Hi!
since this is my first script using arrays and user input, I am facing too many problems.

In the script below, even if I enter "done" as a hostname , it still continues to go further and ask username and password.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/sh
##Take input from the user
c=d=e=0
while [ "$host_name" != done ] 
do
  echo "Please enter the host_name"
  read host_name
  store_hostname[$c]=$host_name
  c=$(( c + 1 ))
  echo "Please enter the username"
  read username
  echo $username
  store_username[$d]=$username
  d=$(( d + 1 ))
  echo "Please enter the password"
  read password
  echo $password
  store_password[$e]=$password
  e=$(( e + 1 ))
done
for i in c
do
#Create a destination directory
ssh -q ${store_username[$d]}@${store_host_name[$c]} mkdir temp
#scp files to host
scp -r /root/temp ${store_username[$c]}@${store_host_name[$c]}:/root/
done
