Menu and case statement scripting
hi all
i am trying to get help with writing a script using case statement to display menu as
Code:
1) Authentication log 
2) System log 
3) Messages 
4) Dmesg 
5) Boot log 
Q) Exit

When selecting the menu by 1 or 2 or 3 o 4 or 5, it should display the last 10 lines of the log files,
if selected wrongly it should give an error and should not exit, rather the user should be able to
try again. Only entering Q it should exit.

vttest

VTTEST(1)						      General Commands Manual							 VTTEST(1)

NAME

       vttest - test VT100-type terminal

SYNOPSIS

       vttest [options] [24x80.132]

DESCRIPTION

       Vttest  is  a program designed to test the functionality of a VT100 terminal (or emulator thereof).  It tests both display (escape sequence
       handling) and keyboard.

       The program is menu-driven and contains full on-line operating instructions.

       -  To run a given menu-item, you must enter its number.

       -  Menu items start at zero; this is the "Exit" item in almost all cases.

       -  You can run all menu-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, `*'.

       -  You can force a repaint of the menu items by entering "?".

       -  A few menus can be more than one page.  Use "n" and "p" to switch to the next or previous page.

OPTIONS

       You can specify the screen geometry in the form [24x80.132], i.e., 24 lines, 80 minimum columns, 132 maximum  columns.	If  your  terminal
       does not switch between 80 and 132 columns you may specify 24x80.80, for example, to avoid a misleading display.

       Other options are:

       -f file
	    specify a file containing a DRCS (soft character definition) string.

       -l   log test results to vttest.log.

       -p   use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line.

       -s   add time-delay in selected panning/scrolling options to show details.

       -8   use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option).
