Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Generating a list of choices in a menu Post 95012 by sysera on Thursday 5th of January 2006 02:55:51 PM

Here is what I have now, which is working well. I'm using ssh as a test of the menu. Once I log into the server I choose, and then logout, it doesn't redraw the menu choices again for the next choice. Is there a way I can make it redraw the choices after that first loop completes?

#!/bin/ksh
clear
HOSTS='systems.txt'
PS3="Please choose a system: "

select i in $(< ${HOSTS})
do
if [ "$REPLY" = "q" ]
then
break
fi
[ $i ] && print "" || print -u2 'Invalid Choice'
clear
ssh -X ${i}
done

SSH-KEYSIGN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SSH-KEYSIGN(8)

NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for hostbased authentication SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during hostbased authentication with SSH protocol version 2. ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting HostbasedAuthentication to ``yes''. ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about hostbased authen- tication. FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled. /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read- able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if hostbased authentication is used.

ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8) AUTHORS

ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2. BSD
