Executing a batch of files within a shell script with option to refire the individual files in batch
Hello everyone. I am new to shell scripting and i am required to create a shell script, the purpose of which i will explain below.
I am on a solaris server btw.
Before delving into the requirements, i will give youse an overview of what is currently in place and its purpose.
There are over 50 of these xml files that needs to be executed by the shell. If there are errors in execution of an xml file, the shell script should exit and the error will need to be fixed.
The tricky part is: once the error is fixed, the script should present the user with an option to resume the execution from the xml file that failed or execute all the files from the beginning.
How do i go about designing a script that will do the following:
1. Present the user with a list of 50 files to run.
2. Any option that the user chooses should pass the file as an argument to the xmlprocshell.sh which do do the deed.
3. If the execution is successful the next file in the order is executed automatically and so on.
Do i put the above inside a function and pass the files as arguments or do i go with loops. If anyone can provide me with an example template, i'd be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance

rhino - invokes the JavaScript shell for running scripts in batch mode or interactive
SYNOPSIS
rhino [options] script_filename_or_url [script_arguments]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the rhino command.
rhino is a start script for the rhino JavaScript shell which provides a simple way to run scripts in batch mode or an interactive environ-
ment for exploratory programming.
OPTIONS -e script_source
Executes script_source as a JavaScript script.
-f script_filename_or_url
Reads script_filename_or_url content and execute it as a JavaScript script.
-opt, -O optLevel
Optimizes at level optLevel, which must be an integer between 0 and 9.
-version versionNumber
Specifies the language version to compile with. The string versionNumber must be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140. See JavaScript
Language Versions for more information on language versions.
PREDEFINED PROPERTIES
Scripts executing in the shell have access to some additional properties of the top-level object.
arguments
The arguments object is an array containing the strings of all the arguments given at the command line when the shell was invoked.
help() Executing the help function will print usage and help messages.
defineClass(className)
Define an extension using the Java class named with the string argument className. Uses ScriptableObject.defineClass() to define the
extension.
deserialize(filename)
Restore from the specified file an object previously written by a call to serialize.
load([filename,...])
Load JavaScript source files named by string arguments. If multiple arguments are given, each file is read in and executed in turn.
loadClass(className)
Load and execute the class named by the string argument className. The class must be a class that implements the Script interface,
as will any script compiled by jsc.
print([expr...])
Evaluate and print expressions. Evaluates each expression, converts the result to a string, and prints it.
readFile(path[,characterCoding])
Read given file and convert its bytes to a string using the specified character coding or default character coding if explicit cod-
ing argument is not given.
readUrl(url[,characterCoding])
Open an input connection to the given string url, read all its bytes and convert them to a string using the specified character cod-
ing or default character coding if explicit coding argument is not given.

Serialize the given object to the specified file.
spawn(functionOrScript)
Run the given function or script in a different thread.
sync(function)
creates a synchronized function (in the sense of a Java synchronized method) from an existing function. The new function synchro-
nizes on the this object of its invocation.
quit() Quit shell. The shell will also quit in interactive mode if an end-of-file character is typed at the prompt.
version([number])
Get or set JavaScript version number. If no argument is supplied, the current version number is returned. If an argument is sup-
plied, it is expected to be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140 to indicate JavaScript version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 respec-
tively.
