Create a menu that will allow you 5 selections
for items and one to exit.
Inside the menu you need to read user input to
decide which of the 5 selections
After a menu item is executed, the screen
should be repainted with the menu until the user
specifies that they want to finish.
You need to somehow handle incorrect user
input, but only exit if they choose your exit option
For this part, you only need to print a message
for each of the 5 selections. Next week you will
add functions for each selection.Sample Menu
Menu
1. Selection 1
2. Selection 2
3. Selection 3
4. Selection 4
5. Selection 5
Enter Your Selection ( x to Exit) ==>Menu Item
Functionality
You need to bring the system down for maintenance and call the
users to let
them know. This selection finds out who is logged in, pulls the
first name
and the telephone number out of the addressfile and displays it to
the
standard output.
The user stu23 has gone home for the day and left his processes
running.
You want to find those processes and stop them. You want to use
this
option in the future so it will prompt for the user name, find and
stop all
processes started by that user (include an “are you sure”
message).
It is discovered that two users have the same user id in the
address file.
This option checks the addressfile for that situation and, if it
exists, prompts
you for a new userid which it will fix in the file with.
Your Boss has asked for a list of all users, but does not care
about the
userid. This option will pull out all users and sort them by last
name but the
output should be : Firstname Lastname Address Town Telephone
number
The users are storing way too many files in their home directory
and you
would like to notify the top 5 offenders. You might want to run
this script
again for more or less users so this selection will prompt for the
number of
users to identify, check how many files they have in their home
directory
and send a list of those users to the standard output.
