Sheesh! Here's the script:
#get_yes_no() {
while true
do
echo -n "$1 (Y/N) ? "
read -t 30 a
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
a="No";
return;
fi
case $a in
[Yy]) a="Yes";
return;;
[Nn]) a="No";
return;;
*);;
esac
done
#}
get_yes_no "Do you want to continue......"
[ $a = 'No' ] && exit 1

Hi list!
The script guys were very helpful in smoothing out my sh shell script and it
with other script calls are doing the job I needed.
BUT! I took the snippet below to use as an "yes/no" intro to one of the
calls. It must have aged as is because it complains about badly placed "()s"
right near the top of the intro and I suspect it won't agree with another
line further down either.
Perhaps a hint from the experts as to how to change the problem?
Thank you!
Jason
