Pausing between two executions in a shell script
HI,
Please help me on this. I have to execute 100 scripts which i have redirected in to a file . I want to pause the script after first execution and once i say enter key word it has to go to next execution. My looks like
Code:
for RUNFILES in `cat ${SOURCEFILES}/scripts`
do
  echo $RUNFILES;
  $sqlplus  /nolog <<!
  connect username/password@instance_name;
  spool $DESTDIR/${b}_$DATE.lst
  @RUNFILES 
  spool off
  exit;
done
!

Is there any way my script stops after executing first file and wait for my confirmation to execute second script. Please help
