I am using while read do/ done to retrieve menu item.
Works as advertised, no problem.
I am using this hack function "pause" to stop script execution and wait for keyboard "enter" key to continue. Sort of break point function. Also works fine with one exception - it does not work when used within while do/done code.
No big issue, but like to know what so special with while do /cone code.
As far as I can tell I get no error or tracking info telling me why "pause" no longer waits for (any) key press. It just "passes thru " .
In this stripped down code I experience same problem when using "pause" in "inputBox" function
On the following script that I get an error when I try to execute as root:
#./mv_log.sh

pause
pause(3) Library Functions Manual pause(3)NAME
pause - Suspends a process until it receives a signal
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int pause( void );
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
pause(): POSIX.1, XPG4, XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The pause() function suspends the calling process until it receives a signal whose action is either to execute a signal-catching function
or terminate the process. The signal must be one that is acknowledged by the calling process. The pause() function does not affect the
action taken when a signal is received.
The pause() function suspends the calling process by suspending the calling thread. Other threads in the process, if any, are not sus-
pended.
RETURN VALUES
When the received signal causes the calling process to terminate, the pause() function does not return.
When the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function, the calling thread resumes exe-
cution from the point of suspension. At that point, the pause() function returns a value of -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pause() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions: The signal has been caught by the calling process and
control has been returned from the signal-catching function.
