How-To Check & Filter user input
Hi,
On my Java webpage which invokes the shell script has two checkboxes viz ...
apache
and
weblogic
apache require one parameter i.e apache home from the user while Weblogic requires three or five params from the user vi.z weblogic_home or <jdk_home, config_home & pid>, username and password.
The use may choose to select any one product or both(apache and weblogic)
Thus the possible user inputs can be
1. selecting either apache or weblogic or both.
2. if apache is selected then one paramter must be passed
3. if weblogic is selected either 3 or 5 paramters should be passed to the script
Anything more or less that the user inputs should terminate the script with exception message.
Please let me know how could it be implemented ?

How to check the user input to be valid using shell script?
The valid input is in the format like as follows.
1. It can only have r,w,x or a hyphen and nothing else.
2. ensure the r, w, x are in the correct order.
for example: rwxr-xr-x is a valid format.

jailer.conf
JAILER(5) File Formats Manual JAILER(5)
NAME
jailer.conf - configuration file of jailer
SYNOPSIS
jailer.conf
DESCRIPTION
jailer is a script for creating chrooted environments for Debian packages.
jailer.conf is the configuration file for jailer.conf
Every configuration definition has to start and end with a jail identifier, which should be unique and be in brackets.
<apache>
For example, an Apache chroot identifier should look like this:
</apache>
The identifier use needs to be closed.
The configuration for the chroot instance is defined inside these identifiers. The following lines can be used to describe the con-
figuration:
Root: /var/chroot/apache
This line describes the PATH of the chrooted enviroment.
Conf:
This line describes the PATH or PATH/filename which should be copied over to the chrooted environment. For example Conf:
/etc/apache/* , which uses a wild card.
Debs:
This line contains the name of those Debian packages which should be installed into the chrooted environment.
Junk-Debs:
This line contains those deb packages which should not be installed into the chrooted environment.
Junk:
This line contains those files or directories which should not be installed. For example /lib/* means all files and links under /lib
should not be installed, while /lib/libconsole.so.0.0.0 means a file which should not to be installed.
Extra:
This line contains those files or directories which should be installed into the chrooted environment. For example: /var/run will
install that a directory which is needed for the chrooted service.
WARNING
Do not configure your daemon inside your jail, because updatejail script will wipe out all the data inside the jail. If you would want to
change any settings inside the jail, make the changes in the original location and then run updatejail . This makes it possible to place a
jail even to a ramdisk.
