I can't figure out why this does not work properly on Ubuntu. It works great when I execute the script on CompileOnline; but when I run it on a local server it does not give me the main menu and skips into reading the list of commands from the top.

The script is supposed to be a menu system. Based upon which selection the user inputs is what action happens. There are also comments so you can see what each section of code does.

    BTW you should add comments before code. i.e first comment then function. Apr 7, 2014 at 1:38

    Did you really intend the shebang to be #!/bin/su? Shell scripts would normally use either #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh (you'd need bash in this case because of the function defs, I think). By default, the root account is not even enabled on Ubuntu so I'm not even sure /bin/su will be able to spawn a shell interpreter. Apr 7, 2014 at 1:51
  • I will look into it. The reason I used the /bin/su is because it was in the Ubuntu examples. Apr 7, 2014 at 14:00
  • OMG!!! I just looked at the Ubuntu samples and the were sh!!! I must have misread them XD. Apr 7, 2014 at 14:01
  • @AdityaPatil Why is your reason for doing this? I do this so the person can see the code then they can know what it does. Apr 7, 2014 at 14:04

It turns out that I was creating the functions incorrectly for Ubuntu. I also changed the shebang just to make sure that the system would interpret it correctly but I do not think that it made much of a difference :-P Here is the code that works:

#!/bin/bash
