I am trying to understand a program in a book and this program suppose to call other programs which are in the same folder, the other programs are called 'lu' and 'add' but for some reason when it gets to the last line of each case to call these programs there is an error message saying
Code:
./rolo: line 29: lu: command not found OR
./rolo: line 29: add: command not found
and the lu program looks like this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Look someone up in the phone book
#
grep "$1" phonebook
echo '
would you like to:
1. Look someone up
2. Add someone to the phone book
3. Remove someone from the phone book
Please select one of the above (1 - 3): \c'
#
# Read and process selection
#
read choice
echo
case "$choice"
in
1) echo "Enter name to look up: \c"
read name
lu "$name";;
2) echo "Enter name to be added: \c"
read name
echo "Enter number: \c"
read number
add "$name" "$number";;
*) echo "Bad choice";;
esac
I don't understand why is not calling them. Please any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
just a silly question, do you know some server that can be used for simple calling (soft phone on Android) and messaging between three users? Something like Asterisk but lightweight just for family use I can add to my VPS.
Many thanks,

imon
IMON(8) Linux System Administration IMON(8)NAME
imon - watch ISDN activities
SYNOPSIS
imon [ -q] [-p phonebook]
DESCRIPTION
imon is a ncurses based utility for watching ISDN activity.
OPTIONS -q If this option is given, the facility of terminatig the program by pressing 'Q' is disabled and the signals SIGHUP and SIGINT are
caught. This option is intended for starting imon from within an rc script with redirecting input/output to some otherwise unused
virtual console at boot time.
-p phonebook
is used to supply imon with a phonebook file. The format of a phonebook file is very simple: Every line has two elements separated by
a TAB. The first element is a phone number which can contain wildcards. The second element is a descriptive string. For each active
connection, this string is shown instead the phone number. Pressing 'S' toggles between display of strings and phone numbers. Pressing
'R' rereads the phonebook file in case of changes during program execution.
