Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Pause for response from the log file Post 302249399 by gxdanh on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 09:10:59 AM

Thank you MajorMark.

my purpose for this scripting is to provide exception processing notification and acknowledgement.

I want to pause the screen that is scrolling as the messages are coming to the log. The user may not catch the error while the screen is scrolling other informational messages. If an error is found, I would like to pause for a user response. Once the user presses ENTER, the screen resumes scrolling again.

With the code above it paused, but did not wait for a user response.
