I have a script that is made up of many steps. I want it to run from start to end most of the time.

Sometimes, I want to skip one of the steps. I'm looking for a "continue by default unless user presses a key" solution, like how Windows boots normally UNLESS you hit any key:

One way I thought of doing this would be by having a menu prompt the user each time to run the full script or just part of it, but this prevents the script from going any further until the user makes a choice. Any suggestions?

  • So you want to give the user, say, 10 seconds to skip, otherwise it will continue?

  • @Smock yes, or even better, let the user skip the current task in progress (may not be possible). Thanks!

  • Have a look at this question and answer on Stack Overflow - see if that does the trick.
