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

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 :)

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 Frank
