Could someone, anyone helpme troubleshoot this basic shell script?

Code:

#

# Brad Wright

# Menu Script

# ITEC 2201 Lab 4

#



while true

do



# Clears screen and displays menu

clear

echo '



MAIN MENU

---------

1) Calculator

2) Vi

3) E-Mail

4) Log Off



Please enter your selection. (1-4):'



# Launches application based on user input



read number

        case number in

        1) cal;;

        2) vim;;

        3) mail;;

        4) logout;;

        *)  echo "Invalid option..."

                echo "Please re-enter your selection. (1-4)"

        esac

done

It's not runing the selected apps and instead just returns to the menu... ?

I am guessing this is either a windows shell script or a linux one :p leaning towards linux

try refrencing the real path?

/usr/bin/vim

? :D

Try changing:

Code:

1) cal;;

into

Code:

        1) cal

read foo?"Press enter to continue"

;;

Like that you will at least see if there is an error.
