simple bourne script
Hello There,

I am trying to write this SIMPLE script in Bourne Shell but I keep on getting a blank response. Can you see what I am doing wrong? I am simply trying to take the day of the week from our system and when the teachers sign on I want them to see the message of the day, when they exe "Schedule" (the name of this script). I had some help on the Dummies Q&A board but I still can't see what's wrong. I would appreciate any ideas.



case $day in
0) echo 'why are you working';;
1) echo 'comment 2';;
2) echo 'comment 3.';;
3) echo 'comment 4/reminder.';;
4) echo 'comment6.';;
5) echo 'meetings?';;
6) echo 'vpdn reminders';;
esac

lr_environment

LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1)					  LogReport's Lire Documentation				      LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1)

NAME

       lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form

SYNOPSIS

       eval `lr_environment`

DESCRIPTION

       The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts.

       All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell.

       Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command.

       The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility.
