Comment: Hi all,
I'm trying to prompt user for input using "read" in ksh script. I want to quit, if the user doen't input any value for say "45" seconds.
Can anyone help me accomplish this task?
Thanks

Reply: (edit)I cant figure this one out. Problem it seems is that when you issue the read command it puts the script on "hold". Ill keep thinking/working on it and post a something tomorrow (explaination as to why not if I cant get it :)

Reply: (edit)Abby, On HP-UX use "reply=`line -t 45` refer to "man line" for detail description.
This is not portable to other Unix. If you are not using HP-UX please specify which kind of unix you are using. No RISK no fun
