Hi

Although i've started to tinker with scripting i've hit a brick wall when it comes to menus, I would like something like this....

menu 1

1, suspend/unsuspend user
2, blah
3, blah
4, blah

when user selects 1 I want another menu to open saying

0, main menu
1, suspend user
2, unsuspend user

when user selects 0 they're returned to menu 1

when user selects 1 I want Please Enter Username: and after it's entered i'd like the command passwd -l to be run on the user and the output to be displayed. Then returned to suspend/unsuspend user menu.

when user selects 1 I want Please Enter Username: and after it's entered i'd like the command passwd -u to be run on the user and the output to be displayed. Then returned to suspend/unsuspend user menu.

Hope this makes sense and i'm sure it's not as hard as i've made out ha! any help would be appriciated

thanks for that very helpful. Can you tell me how to allow for user input after selecting sususer ie selet 1) sususer which returns 'enter username' which is then entered and output is dispalyed, also how do i get space inbetween titles ie Suspend User? this is what i have so far.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

submenufunc() {
   select CHOICE  in sususer blah1 blah2 mainmenu
   do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "sususer")
         passwd -l
         ;;
      "blah1")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "mainmenu")
              echo -e  "\n1) submenu\n2) blah\n3) blah2\n4) quit"  #to display main menu agin :S there must be a better way
         break
         ;;
   esac
   done
}

select CHOICE  in submenu blah blah2 quit
do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "submenu")
         submenufunc
         ;;
      "blah")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "quit")
         exit
         ;;
   esac
done

for user input you will want to use the read command. For example:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

submenufunc() {
   select CHOICE  in sususer blah1 blah2 mainmenu
   do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "sususer")
         read -p "Enter Your Username: " username
         passwd -l $username
         ;;
      "blah1")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "mainmenu")
              echo -e  "\n1) submenu\n2) blah\n3) blah2\n4) quit"  #to display main menu agin :S there must be a better way
         break
         ;;
   esac
   done
}

select CHOICE  in submenu blah blah2 quit
do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "submenu")
         submenufunc
         ;;
      "blah")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "quit")
         exit
         ;;
   esac
done


As far as spacing goes, are you referring to adding a blank line between each menu item or using phrases with spaces as menu items? I think you're trying to use spaced phrases as menu items. Use single quotes like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

submenufunc() {
   select CHOICE  in 'Suspend User' blah1 blah2 'Main Menu'
   do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "sususer")
         read -p "Enter Your Username: " username
         passwd -l $username
         ;;
      "blahblah1")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blahblah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "mainmenu")
              echo -e  "\n1) submenu\n2) blah\n3) blah2\n4) quit"  #to display main menu agin :S there must be a better way
         break
         ;;
   esac
   done
}

select CHOICE  in submenu blah blah2 quit
do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "submenu")
         submenufunc
         ;;
      "blah")
         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "quit")
         exit
         ;;
   esac
done


Hope this helps!

You could play with tput (man tput; man 5 terminfo)
Code:
submenufunc() {
#...
"mainmenu") tput cuu 6
            tput ed
            break
;;
esac
done
}

         echo "blah blah foo"
         ;;
      "blah2")
         echo "blah2 blah foo"
         ;;
      "mainmenu")
              echo -e  "\n1) submenu\n2) blah\n3) blah2\n4) quit"  #to display main menu agin :S there must be a better way
         break
         ;;
   esac
   done
}

select CHOICE  in submenu blah blah2 quit
do
   case "$CHOICE" in
      "submenu")

Something like

Main Menu

1, Users
2, System

when user selects 1 I want another menu to open saying

1, Access
2. Quota

when user selects 1

1, Suspend User
2, Unsuspend User
