How to take input from the user from the command line and execute commands basedon that?
Hi,
I am using solaris 10 and bash shell.Script execution follows below.Initially it will check whether a directory exists or not if does not exist it will create it.(This I have completed)

Second step:I have four users say user1,user2,user3,user4.Script should prompt for the user id and password.then user needs to input the userid and password.That user id should lie with in the above 4 users.if it is other than the mentioned one it should say invalid user.based on the userid and password it will be executing SVN commands(I am fine with SVN commands)

only problem here is how to take the userid and password from the user in middle of script execution.based on that script should continue the execution.

I have tried this.
Code:
[echo "Please enter userid"
read userid
if [ "$userid" = "$user1" ] || [ "$userid" = "$user2" ] || [ "$userid" = "user3" ] || [ "$userid" = "user4" ]
then
cd /export/home/mvaddadi/
svn checkout  --username $userid https://scm-coconet.com/svn/repos/vo...ordgen/current
else
echo "invalid id"
fi]


But it is not working.I believe read is not working properly.Thanks in Advance for your inputs.

sivtest

SIVTEST(1)						      General Commands Manual							SIVTEST(1)

NAME

       sivtest - interactive MANAGESIEVE test program

SYNOPSIS

       sivtest [ -t keyfile ] [ -p port ] [ -m mechanism ]
	       [ -a userid ] [ -u userid ] [ -k num ] [ -l num ]
	       [ -r realm ] [ -f file ] [ -n num ] [ -c ]
	       [ -i ] [ -o option=value ] [ -v ] hostname

DESCRIPTION

       sivtest is a utility that allows you to authenticate to a MANAGESIEVE server and interactively issue commands to it. Once authenticated you
       may issue any MANAGESIEVE command by simply typing it in. It is capable of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and  handles	encryption
       layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of a timsieved server. Also those developing MANAGESIEVE clients
       find it useful.

OPTIONS

       -t keyfile
	      Enable TLS.  keyfile contains the TLS public and private keys.  Specify "" to negotiate a TLS  encryption  layer	but  not  use  TLS
	      authentication.

       -p port
	      Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to sieve as defined in /etc/services.

       -m mechanism
	      Force  sivtest  to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server
	      is chosen.

       -a userid
	      Userid to use for authentication; defaults to the current user.  This is the userid whose password or credentials will be  presented
	      to the server for verification.

       -u userid
	      Userid  to use for authorization; defaults to the current user.  This is the userid whose identity will be assumed after authentica-
	      tion.  NOTE: This is only used with SASL mechanisms that allow proxying (e.g. PLAIN, DIGEST-MD5).

       -k num Minimum protection layer required.

       -l num Maximum protection layer to use (0=none; 1=integrity; etc).  For example if you are using the KERBEROS_V4  authentication  mechanism
	      specifying 0 will force sivtest to not use any layer and specifying 1 will force it to use the integrity layer.  By default the max-
	      imum supported protection layer will be used.

       -r realm
	      Specify the realm to use. Certain authentication mechanisms (e.g. DIGEST-MD5) may require one to specify the realm.

       -f file
	      Pipe file into connection after authentication.

       -n num Number of authentication attempts; default = 1.  The client will attempt to do  SSL/TLS  session	reuse  and/or  fast  reauth  (e.g.
	      DIGEST-MD5), if possible.

       -c     Enable  challenge  prompt  callbacks.   This will cause the OTP mechanism to ask for the the one-time password instead of the secret
	      pass-phrase (library generates the correct response).

       -i     Don't send an initial client response for SASL mechanisms, even if the protocol supports it.

       -o option=value
	      Set the SASL option to value.

       -v     Verbose. Print out more information than usual.
