<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi folks, I'm a 23 years old boy living in northern
italy and I've been using Linux since October 2005. First Redhat, then
Debian.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My problems are quite a lot, but the most urgent is
the following.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to create a procedure which makes easier the
restore process to users who do not have acknowledgement of the shell
commands.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The script calls the program amrecove,r which is
part of the Amanda suite, a famous backup and restore system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once executed, Amanda sets the disk and the date
interesting for the user and then...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>here comes my difficulty.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I create, by writing a Bash
script with vi, a menu that shows the content of a directory by executing the
lscommand, allowing besides to select one or more files by pressing space to
mark or unmark the item(s)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried to use both dialog and whiptail with the
--menu and--checklist options, but nothing to do!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need a big and fast help, please don't consider a
problem quoting directly the code in a message, so that I can immediately insert
it in my script!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Naturally, the procedure will work in text
mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, X is not required!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks to all of you, write you
soon</FONT></DIV>
