options=("Option 1:" "Option 2:" "Other Reason:" "Quit")
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do
    case $opt in
        "Option 1 :")
            echo "you chose choice 1"
            ;;
        "Option 2:")
            echo "you chose choice 2"
            ;;
        "Other Reason:")
            echo "you chose choice 3"
            ;;
        "Quit")

METHODS

       new()
	   Inherited from LedgerSMB::DBObject.	Please see that documnetation for details.

       generate()
	   This function returns a list of menu items.	Each list item is a hashref: keys %menu_item would return the equivalent of qw(position id
	   level label path args).  Returns the complete list and sets $menu->{menu_items} to a referene to th result set, This function does not
	   return an entry for the top-level menu.

       generate_section()
	   This class acts like Menu::Generate except it returns only a cross-section of the menu.  Basically it returns all nodes which are
	   direct children below $object->{parent_id}.

       will_expire_soon()
	   This method returns true if the user's password will expire soon (within the next week).
