I think we crossposted. Have a look at my general-purpose bash menu system there
Thanks a mil...That looks very interesting.. I will try it as soon as i have access to a terminal.
The only thing is, the number is options in my menus are usually 10 or more and the option is uaually something like "Show logs that belong to the XX service" and such. I have never used select before as well so i am a bit apprehensive. I am excited to try this out at the same time

Hope this helps.
That is exactly how i have it and it will work fine as long as you do not have another submenu "sub_menu_2" inside inside the function "sub_menu"... In this case, when you call the function "sub_menu_2" and then return back to "sub_menu", any choice you make will take you to "sub_menu_2"... This is because, "sub_menu_2" calls "sub_menu" and when you choose an option , it simply returns back after the call and still in the while loop in "sub_menu_2"
