WIth stg like a question : "Do you want to keep those values as default? [Y/N]"


And the problem is that I have no idea how to do that....
Are you stuck on how to accept the user's option or how to save the default parameters per user ?

To accept the user's option see one of these
https://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-que...ser-input.html
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ser-input.html

If you are wondering how to save the parameters, then accept the params for the first time and then dump them onto a file with <key,value> pair like
RUN_ALGO=YES
TRANSFORM=NO et al.
Later, in the next run, look for this file and read the entries.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
