Shell Programming and Scripting

Howdy People :),

I'm a newbie & its my first question here. I've started learning Unix Bourne Shell scripting recently and struggling already :stuck_out_tongue: Can someone PLEASE help me with the following problem. Somehow my script is not working.

  • Display an initial prompt of the form:
    Welcome to machine name. What is your name?
    where machine name is the network name for the machine that the script is running on.
  • Read the name that the user enters
  • Respond with the output:
    Hello name, how are you?
  • Read the response from the user
  • If the response contains the word �good� respond with:
    I'm glad to hear that.
  • Otherwise, respond with:
    I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.
  • Finally output: Good-bye.

Much appreciated guys. Thanks heaps in advance :slight_smile:
