Hi,

For Eg : It looks like this

1. User Control
2. Locking and Waiting Statistics
3. Block Access
4. Record Locking Table
5. Activity
Enter your selection:

What utility? There is no standard MENU (or even menu) utility.

How does the utility pass the selection to the script?

Have you read its documentation?

Why not just write it all in a script? It's quite easy to do.
