Hello everyone,
I would like some help on an issue I have related to the read command with ksh93 (Unix AIX).
I want to implement a 'press any key to exit' scenario.
I have the following code:
When I execute the code and press any key while it is executing, sometimes it exits properly, other times it takes more than one key press to exit, maybe because the key got pressed while the processing section of the loop was running. What could be 'chewing up' the pressed keystroke?
Do you have suggestions on how to guarantee termination on a single key stroke?
Maybe I need to redesign my loop logic ?
I am open to any advice and suggestion.
Thanks to all!

#!/bin/sh
MAXTHREAD=30
awk '{print $1}' metadata.csv > nvpipe &

RESULT=""
sleep 30
while ; do
sleep 10
RESULT=`sed -n '/RUNNING/'p ${LOG_FILE_NEW}`
if ; then
