Re: [PLUG] Shell scripting?

["K.S. Bhaskar" <ksbhaskar@gmail.com>]

It's a little harder than that writing scripts that must run robustly
on a wide variety of UNIX/Linux environments.  Here's an abstraction
of bits pulled from a script I wrote recently.

-- Bhaskar

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /tmp/temp.tmp
#!/bin/sh
trap 'stty sane ; exit 1' HUP INT QUIT TERM TRAP

# echo and options
ECHO=/bin/echo
ECHO_OPTIONS=""
#Linux honors escape sequence only when run with -e
if [ "Linux" = "`uname -s`" ] ; then ECHO_OPTIONS="-e" ; fi

unset tmp
while [ "Y" != "$tmp" ] ; do
    $ECHO $ECHO_OPTIONS "Please indicate interest in shell scripting
(y/n/[?]):" \\c
    read tmp ; tmp=`$ECHO $tmp | tr yesno YESNO`
    case $tmp in
    "Y"|"YE"|"YES") $ECHO "OK, let's get you signed in..."
            tmp="Y" ;;
    "N"|"NO") $ECHO "OK, then join us for libations after the meeting."
            exit 1 ;;
     *) $ECHO
            $ECHO "Answer Y[es] or N[o]"
            $ECHO "This is an example from a shell script that must run"
            $ECHO "robustly on many UNIX/Linux systems."
            $ECHO ;;
    esac
done
unset tmp
