if you put both of these files in your /usr/bin/ dir you can just run the thing by typing menu anywhere you are

Now there's an idea... if anyone wants my JavaScript/PHP/XML menu generator, let me know. Nice code, K.

big_k105 · Nov 23rd, 2004, 11:05 AM

create a thread and post it

This menu system could be used when you dont want to give a user full access to the computer and only want to give them a few commands. you could set it up for when ever they ssh into the machine the menu automaticly runs and then with they exit the menu it could log out of the computer for them and then the only access they get is what you give them on the menu

Ooble · Nov 23rd, 2004, 4:44 PM

Sounds like a really good idea to me.

Infinite Recursion · Nov 24th, 2004, 11:19 AM

Looks pretty good man, I'm going to put it on my Fedora Core 3, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Solaris 10 boxes to test it out for ya... maybe add a bit to it too.

Feelings are hurt cuz you don't have a "Compile C program" option... lol

big_k105 · Nov 24th, 2004, 11:39 AM

i couldnt think of anymore options to put into it but thats a good one. if you modify it let me know i would like to see what other options would be good to add to it

just figured this out if you add this to the users .profile file then it will run automaticly when they login via ssh

ok i have added a compile c++ and c options and even a run a.out cause thats what the code compiles to on my computer when i dont get a specific name

Just added a few changes to the compile options to where you can put in a name for the binary that was created.

Changed the run a.out option to Run Program... so you can run any program you want (that you have perms to run).

Also, removed the cd command from the top of menu.sh to make the menu work with the current directory or directory specified instead of defaulting to home directory.

These are minor, trivial changes... that I needed for my "instance" of Big K's menu script.

Good work man!

Changed the run a.out option to Run Program... so you can run any program you want (that you have perms to run). Also, removed the cd command from the top of menu.sh to make the menu work with the current directory or directory specified instead of defaulting to home directory. These are minor, trivial changes... that I needed for my "instance" of Big K's menu script. Good work man! menu.sh ----------- (Toggle Plain Text) 9) clear echo "Enter C++ Program to compile." read file echo "Enter program name: " read pname g++ $file -o $pname menu.awk ;; 10) clear echo "Enter C Program to compile." read file echo "Enter program name: " read pname gcc $file -o $pname menu.awk ;; 11) clear echo "Enter program to run:" read pname $pname menu.awk ;; 9) clear echo "Enter C++ Program to compile." read file echo "Enter program name: " read pname g++ $file -o $pname menu.awk ;; 10) clear echo "Enter C Program to compile." read file echo "Enter program name: " read pname gcc $file -o $pname menu.awk ;; 11) clear echo "Enter program to run:" read pname $pname menu.awk ;; menu.awk ------------- (Toggle Plain Text) menu=menu "* 11) Run Program \n" menu=menu " 11) Run Program *\n" __________________ http://jasonpowers.net "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."
