[NTLUG:Discuss] bash Script help

[Howard Lee Harkness]

I did a test of the script, with the modification of removing the clear
command and specifying the full path to the sub-script, and it worked ok
under Cygwin (haven't tried on Ubuntu yet).

$ cat test1.sh
#!/bin/bash
#clear
#/usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg /root/ViewCastWallpaper.bmp

COUNT=10
echo 'Factory Restore will be performed if you no key is pressed in 10
seconds...'
while [ $COUNT -gt 0 ]; do
    echo Factory Restore will be performed in $COUNT seconds..
    echo Press any key to abort!
    echo ' '
    read -sn 1 -t 1 Key

    echo $Key

#if [ $# -eq 2 ] ; then
if test  -z "$Key"; then
    echo no key pressed
    else
    exit 0
fi


    let COUNT=COUNT-1
    #sleep 1s

done

# Test
echo Start Test Now!

/usr/local/bin/test2.sh&


$ cat test2.sh
echo This is a test

Results of run:
$ test1.sh
Factory Restore will be performed if you no key is pressed in 10 seconds...
Factory Restore will be performed in 10 seconds..
Press any key to abort!


no key pressed
/usr/local/bin/test1.sh: line 25: clear: command not found
Factory Restore will be performed in 9 seconds..
Press any key to abort!

[some output omitted for brevity]

no key pressed
Start Test Now!
This is a test
