While loop within if statement
Hi,

I'm a rookie who is trying to learn this stuff. What I need help with is putting together a non complicated "while" loop within the below "if" statement. I also need the while loop to keep looping until the user types a key to end the loop. Please reveal the proper insertion points. Thank you, joe.


Script is below:
Code:
echo "Please choose a month from January to December and that month will display which holiday is related to that month."
read month
if [ "$month" = "January" ]
then
echo "Martin Luther King Day is in the month of January."
elif
[ "$month" = "February" ]
then
echo "President's Day is in the month of February."
elif
[ "$month" = "March" ]
then
echo "There is no holiday in the month of March."
elif
[ “$month” = “April” ]
then
echo “There is no holiday in the month of April.”
elif
[ “$month” = “May” ]
then
echo “Memorial Day is in the month of May.”
elif
[ “$month” = “June” ]
then
echo “There is no holiday in the month of June.”
elif
[ “$month” = “July” ]
then
echo “The Fourth of July is in the month of July.”
elif
[ “$month” = “August” ]
then
echo “There is no holiday in the month of August.”
elif
[ “$month” = “September” ]
then
echo “Labor Day is in the month of September.”
elif
[ “$month” = “October” ]
then
echo “Columbus Day is in the month of October.”
elif
[ “$month” = “November” ]
then
echo “Thanksgiving one of the most wonderful holidays, is in the month of November.”
elif
[ “$month” = “December” ]
then
echo “Christmas is in the month of December.”
else
echo “This month does not exist.”
fi

holidays(4)							   File Formats 						       holidays(4)

NAME

       holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/acct/holidays

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/acct/holidays file specifies prime time hours and holidays. Holidays and weekends are considered non-prime time hours.

       /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.

       All lines beginning with an * are comments.

       The  /etc/acct/holidays	file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and
       non-prime time hours, in the form of:

	 current_year prime_start non_prime_start

       Specify prime_start and non_prime_start times in the range of 0000 to 2400.

       The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form of:

	 month/day company_holiday

       Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs.

       The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated every year.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 An Example of the /etc/acct/holidays File

       The following is an example of the /etc/acct/holidays file:

	 * Prime/Nonprime Table for the accounting system
