Linux scripts

[rfisher]

Anyone know how to write a text script Linux file that prints on the screen something like;

Restore image? (y) (n)

If you then press y a program is started that loads a restore image.

If you press n the system reboots after chucking the dvd out.

If you press anything else nothing happens.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Restore image? (y/n)"
read x
if [[ "$x" == [Yy] ]]; then
    restoreimage
fi
if [[ "$x" == [Nn] ]]; then
    umount /dev/dvd
    eject /dev/dvd
    shutdown -r 0
fi

1) "restoreimage" is the restore image program

2) assumes that /dev/dvd symlink is set up correctly

3) needs to be run as root for shutdown to work

Excellent - thanks.
