How about something like this:
This is similar to a lot of menu-like scripts that I've written for the folks around here that don't know (or care to know - heathens!) Unix, but need at least a little interaction to complete their job.
In case anyone was wondering why I didn't use all of ksh's cool little redundancies { such as $(true) instead of `true` }, it's because the code above is portable. It can be run by bash, sh, ksh, and their clones, with only two changes - the echoe alias, and the sh-bang line at the top.
Hi,
I am writing a series of scripts for work to analyse intranet access logs. All of the scripts do as they should when run individually from the shell, but only when run from certain directories. This sounds like it may be a PATH issue but I am not sure. When I run a certain script, say... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I'm using autosys and want to set it up that I receive emails when certain jobs start and finish. I don't want to edit each jobs script (ksh) to send a mail at start and finish, I would rather have a single script/job that watches for a trigger when the jobs have started or finished.

profile - setting up an environment for user at login time
SYNOPSIS
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
DESCRIPTION
All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.
/etc/profile allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not unusual for /etc/profile to execute special
actions for the root login or the su command.
The file $HOME/.profile is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
(except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 022
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
# Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
while :
do
if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
then break
elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
then break
else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
fi
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
done
# Initialize the terminal and set tabs
# Set the erase character to backspace
stty erase '^H' echoe
FILES
$HOME/.profile user-specific environment
/etc/profile system-wide environment

NOTES
Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better for serving all but the most
global needs.
