Try this:

#!/bin/sh

echo "(1) Edit File /testfile"
echo "(2) Stop Process"
echo "(3) Restart Process"
echo "(x) EXIT"

read CHOICE

case $CHOICE in

1)

vi /testfile
;;

2)

/etc/init.d/process stop
;;

3)

/etc/init.d/process restart
;;

x)

exit 0

;;

esac

Hope this Helps (should also work under Bash , I´ve tried it on sh )

Hi Dear!

its a good script i have done with it but there is some technical issue in this script..

when i choose

[1] edit squid.conf file (option

its open the squid.conf their i have done my work and exit in squdi.conf file then i got shell

like
-bash-2.05b$

its a big fault i want when i quit squid.conf file then again

[1] edit squid.conf file
[2] stop squid process
[3] restart squid process
[x] exit.....

script will appear until user press [x] option

and another fault is if i hit Ctrl+C then this script is off and i got

-bash-2.05b$

i want user's did't use any thing like (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+Z)

thanks and regards
