Script to restart
 
hi guys, how do I make a simple script to restart a service like:

/etc/init.d/kerio-connect restart

do I just need to key in that command in a script?

is there a way to prompt the user like:

Are you sure you want to restart?
Press 'Yes' to proceed 'No' to cancel.

Need your help guys, sorry so noob in linux scripting.

Thanks in advance. :)

Code:
echo "You sure want to restart the service followed by [ENTER]:"
read answer
if  ("$year" == "yes")
    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The code should give you an idea how you can perform the user confirmation. This page should help.

hi, thank you so much for you reply i tried this code Ubuntu VM

but it has an error
'r':command not found
's':command not found
'x':command not found etc. etc.

Please help guys,i just tried whether the script is able to capture the keys but it does not work it throws some error.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#This script will restart, start or stop the Kerio connect service

echo "Press the letter followed by enter, "R" to restart Kerio Connect service, "X" to stop to restart Kerio Connect service, "S" to start"

read answer

if ("$answer" == "R" || "r"); then

#/etc/init.d/kerio-connect restart

echo "You press R or r"

elif ("$answer" == "X" || "x"); then

#/etc/init.d/kerio-connect stop

echo "You press X or x"

else ("$answer" == "S" || "s"); then

#/etc/init.d/kerio-connect start
#
echo "You press S or s"

That's because arunchinnachamy's post has the wrong syntax.

Code:
echo "enter stuff"
read answer
if [[ "$answer" == "yes" ]]; then
  echo yes
else
  echo something else
fi

hi guys, thank you so much for your help i came up with this one:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

clear

echo "Press S to start X to stop R to restart and press [enter]"

read answer

if [[ $answer == "S" || $answer == "s" ]]; then
  echo "You press S"
# put the command here to be executed
elif [[ $answer == "X" || $answer == "x" ]]; then
  echo "You press X"
# put the command here to be executed
elif [[ $answer == "R" || $answer == "r" ]]; then
  echo "You press R"
# put the command here to be executed
else
  echo "Unrecognize choice"
fi
