Bash shell scripting woes.....

gimpojones · 11-25-2009, 06:14 PM

So i'm a McNubblet when it comes to doing scripting...

I'm trying to exit out of the script and the shell in one fell swoop in this case statement i'm running. I've tried various non-working things... I have a feeling the exec command will come into play, but I've yet to get the shell to recognize the command. I've also played around with the kill command, but i'm stumped on this one....

any help would be appreciated....
