Im constructing a menu for a program using case. I have all my normal input options mapped out but i want to have a * ) option so that if something else is inputed, it displays "Incorrect input" and then resumes the normal menu function. How do I do this? Ideally, I'd like it to display "Incorrect Input" and then accept more input for the menu.

I've written a bash shell script (code provided below) that gives the user 4 options. However I'm having a little trouble with the code. Right now when they select option 3, to show the date.It loops over and over again.I have to close the terminal window to stop it because it's an infinite loop. How would I prevent this? Also quit doesn't seem to be working either.

I am envisioning a dialog menu with 2 sections, the top 2/3 a menu, then the bottom 1/3 is a message box. When you highlight a menu item it gives you a description of what it does in the message box. However I am not sure it is possible. Can this be done in BASH?

Im wondering how to create a menu in c like bash's select. I imagine there is already something out but I don't know what it would be. Im a c newb but been scripting for a long time now and trying to pick up a little c.this would be what I am looking to display:
Code:
1) option 1
2) option 2
3) option 3
Make a selection:obviously 1,2,3 would be the only valid selection and anything else would say invalid or something like that.
The script starts first a program I wrote earlier that collects specific data from 3 online csv files and write a summary csv file called /Tribalwars/request.csv . The seperator used is ;
the csv file looks like this but can be any number of rows (but not to many mostly 3 - 5)
Title1;tile2;...;title15;
B1;B2;...;B15
C1;C2;...;C15
D1;D2;...;D15
Now the next part of the script, and that is what I want to change, asks me to manually input some data I have to copy paste from the csv file just created. I mean if i choose to continue to do my calculations for city 2, I need to copy-paste C1 for the first variable 'cityname' , copy-paste c2 for the second variable 'xxx',copy-paste C3 for the third variable 'yyy',copy-paste C15 for the fourth variable 'points'
Then it starts new calculations etc, witch only these variables.
Now could it be possible to make a menu from the csv file with only the according cells on the screen and that I only have to choose a row from the menu?
I wrote bash script that uses zenity and a choice to install various programs, tested it and it works, but only when I call it from terminal. I wanted to add it in gnome main menu. The script is /home/eee/zenity.sh. In accessories I added an entry with command:
Code:
/home/eee/zenity.sh
, but since there is no terminal it starts zenity, but it does not work. I have also tried
Code:
gksu gnome-terminal -x /home/eee/zenity.sh

Is it possible to create a text based menu layout in bash were it is possible to browse through. The menu list should look something like this:
----------------------------------------
user: root
colour: blue
number: 4
animal: dog
----------------------------------------
At the start the cursor should blink at the r from root so that text can be entered. When pressing the enter the cursor should go to the b from blue and so on. the imported thing is that all the text is visible also beyond the position from the cursor.
I would like to create a bash menu script for my home server For instance if i were to type ./script It would then bring up 3 options
a. Create a backup
b. Restore files from a backup
c. Quit
If you were to select a or b it should then ask you were you want to backup or restore from. And if i were to type in an incorrect letter i should get an error and take me back to menu. I have attepmted this a view time now and have magaged to get the menu up using parameters

Sleep button works just fine. /etc/acpi/sleep.sh from console too.

I noticed that it always goes to sleep again when I wake up laptop by opening the lid. For example if I run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, pm-suspend or press the sleep button laptop goes to sleep, then i close the lid and when i open it back - the problem occurs.

I don't know what I'm missing or what I did to break it, but most screensavers that I have end up returning this error message:

I do like a lot of the changes they've made in Lucid (especially the aesthetic ones), but there is one change they made that I don't like, and I can't figure out how to get around it. I have Ubuntu set so that, after 10 minutes or so of inactivity, my screen is blanked, in order to save power. In Lucid, though, whenever I come back to my computer after the screen has been blanked, it requires me to entire my password in order to resume use of my computer. Is there any way I can turn this off?
This next question is unrelated, but I do still feel the need to ask. Why, exactly, did they move the minimize/maximize/close buttons from the top-right corner of the window to the top-left? I know that it probably feels natural to Mac users, but every previous version of Ubuntu has had these buttons in the top-right corner.....why on earth did they feel the need to change it? I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and it's kind of annoying. Surely most people who've been using Ubuntu for a while were thrown off by this, as well? I doubt that there is any way to change it, but does anyone know if there is?
I finally have a working nautilus after weeks experiencing a seg fault caused by a dependency problem which I have only now managed to resolve.
It came right after doing this:
Code:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/nautilus
I then removed nautilus-elementary ppa and downgraded the nautilus-data.
Problem is the nautilus I get is extremely minimal -- really just a window -- which insists on opening new windows whenever I click on a folder.
[URL]
I've tried removing .nautilus on several occasions.
What are the default settings?
Is there a more convenient way of editing nautilus?
Striks me this has something to do with settings gconf. I'm going to play around and see if any of them fix this creature.

I've recently done a fresh install of 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 5720 and it went pretty well. However I've a problem with the logon appearing twice. If I leave my computer idle for too long the screen locks. when I return I'm asked for my password which unlocks the computer but within a few seconds the screen locks again and I need to enter my password for a second time. This time the computer unlocks and stay unlocks.. but it's annoying I have to unlock it twice !
How can I extend the length of time before it unlocks or disable it all together.. until the problem gets fixed?

I have a linux box, which was given to me by a company with 3 dedicated IP addresses. My goal was to setup ssh tunnels on all three dedicated IP Addresses.
Via Putty, i am successfully able to create a tunnel to the box's on IP1 IP2 and IP3 - that is i can make incoming connections on all three IP's.
However, my problem lies when i attempt to USE the tunnel. AIn all instances, regardless of the IP i actually tunneled into the box with, it returns IP1 as an outgoing connection, i.e if i setup IE to use the tunnel, it will return my IP as IP1, even though i have created the tunenl via IP2/IP3.
What id liek to accomplish is that when i create a tunnel via IP1, then outgoing connections go via IP1, and when i create a tunnel via IP2, then outgoping connectiosn go via Ip2 etc.
After discussing this with a colleague of mine, he infomed me he had the same problem at one point, and that some configuration on the box was required - however he was unable to recall.
I'm building a very small netbootable client, using a stripped down custom kernel and busybox v.1.18.4 (stable) with the embedded ifconfig and udhcpc applets
after startup, the initrd is loaded, and the proc, sys, dev and pts folders are properly created and mounted.
/proc/net/dev properly contain eth0 as an ethernet device.
in the init script I execute a background call to udhcpc passing the dhcp.script properly to udhcpc, and dhcp.script is then executed when the bound event occurs.
what I cant get past is udhcpc is passing back the interface evironment variable as etho0 (thats, 'eth' lowercase 'o' and a zero '0', when it should be passing 'eth0', thats 'eth' and zero '0')
I know I could hardcode the eth0, but i was hoping for a somewhat smarter system.

I have a situation where I have two DNS servers - a BIND one for our Unix hosts and a Windows Server DNS one for the Exchange and other Windows hosts. I set up the BIND server to slave from the Windows one, which it seems to do just fine.
Windows DNS has entries like "_gc._tcp.domain.local" in it, which are needed for domain logins, etc.
However, when I try to use nslookup on those entries, it fails when querying the BIND server. When I do a domain transfer with dig, I get all the answers I expect.
This failure means that the Windows boxes can't query the BIND server for the answers they need. By default, from DHCP, it is the BIND server they get, so that's a big problem. If I manually switch their DNS to the Windows server, it works perfectly.
