Shell script menu for end user - difficult challenge

Hello,

I need to make shell script menu for my end users. There is like 100 scripts in system, and they need to run that scripts true one main script with user friendly menu.

Example, when user will run main menu script, it will get something like this on his screen:
_________________________________________________________

Please insert number of steps?
User: 3

Insert step 1?
User: script47.sh
Insert check return code for script1.sh?
0

Insert step 2?
User: script78.sh
Insert check return code for script78.sh?
1

Insert step 3?
User: script34.sh
Insert check return code for script34.sh?
0
_________________________
Check before running the scripts:
1. Step: script1.sh -- return code 0
2. Step: script78.sh -- return code 1
3. Step: script34.sh -- return code 0
For continue insert yes
User: yes
**************************
Then script executing look like this
/app/test/script47.sh
chk_rc_100
/app/test/script78.sh
chk_rc_100
/app/test/script34.sh
chk_rc_100
_________________________________________________________

This is example of main script if you make it with fixed parameter, this is like some plan of executing, but i need to make menu so user can pick how many script will run and enter scripts name. Check return code is same for every case.

Code:

#Check for RC=100 
chk_rc_100() {
        ret_code=$?
        if [ "$ret_code" != "100" ]
                then
                        echo "!!!!!"
                        echo "Script finished with error!"
                        echo "!!!!!"
                        exit $ret_code
                fi
                fi
}


CMD="/app/test/script47.sh"
$CMD
chk_rc_100

CMD="/app/test/script27.sh"
$CMD
chk_rc_100

CMD="/app/test/script31.sh"
$CMD
chk_rc_100

CMD="/app/test/script79.sh"
$CMD
chk_rc_100

NAME

       Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts

DESCRIPTION

       The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
       bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.

       Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.

       That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
       considered unacceptable.

       In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
       that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.

       Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
       safety.

FUNCTIONS

   script_compiles
	   script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );

       The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
       This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.

   script_runs
	   script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );

       The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
       be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
