...
The problem is that executing my commands requires two presses of the ENTER key as opposed to the originally being pressed once as one would expect, for example when quitting the program you are asked "Are you sure you want to quit?" after pressing Y you then have to press enter twice before the program is closed whereas before i was once you would expect.
...
That's because the script is logically flawed. After displaying the initial menu with the header "OPERATOR ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL", you are capturing the user's choice twice - once in "menunumber" and the second time in "menunumber3". Ideally, you should capture the choice in one variable only and then compare this value using the case construct.
Here's the modified script with proper indentation. Note how the user's input is captured *only* in one variable - "menunumber", which is then compared to 1, 2, and Q|q.
Of course, you will have add the appropriate menus and sub-hierarchies for 3, 4, 5 as well for this script to work for those choices.
Hope that helps,
