Once again another script hacked together from a few sources to try and suit my needs. This is to go through a /temp directory and for each ls entry ask which Dir of three I want it sorted.
The script works but there are a few behaviors that are odd so I figured I'd ask for help cleaning this up. The first issue is it continues to ask to move the file even if you have answered yes prior, which should cause an error but instead it just happily copies it to both, or all three which is really weird. I'd like it to stop after one affirmative answer or better yet if its easier & someone can show me how it could be one read with a (M)ovie (T)elevision or (K)ids prompt & and three $replys looking for first corresponding letters . I just wasn't able to figure that out for the life of me.
Here it is: TIA to all, this is my goto group for this stuff, since I'm obviously not a coder.

removable-media(9P) Kernel Properties for Drivers removable-media(9P)NAME
removable-media - removable media device property
DESCRIPTION
A device that supports removable media--such as CDROM, JAZZ, and ZIP drives--and that supports power management and expects automatic
mounting of the device via the volume manager should export the boolean (zero length) property removable-media. This property enables the
system to make the power state of the device dependent on the power state of the frame buffer and monitor. See the power.conf(4) discussion
of the device-dependency-property entry for more information.
Devices that behave like removable devices (such as PC ATA cards, where the controller and media both are removed at the same time) should
also export this property.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: removable-media Entry
An example of a removable-media entry from the .conf file of a driver is shown below.
# This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless
# the console framebuffer and monitor are powered down
#
removable-media=1;
Example 2: Implementation in attach()
Below is an example of how the entry above would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of the driver.
xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd)
{
...
if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP,
"removable-media", NULL, 0)) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS)
goto failed;
...
}
