Introduction to UNIX with Shell Scripting

1) This is a multi-faceted project. Write a script that will take the information from the data file and make the output as shown below. Also, write a menu that will allow the printing, addition or deletion of a book from the data file.

2) Requirements of the script:

a) You can use any shell, but you must identify the script on the first line.

b) Must start with the input data files exactly formatted as shown below.

c) Write a menu system, using sub-functions, that will allow the following functionality:

a. Format and send the data to the screen, as formatted in section 4.

b. Print to classroom printer.

c. Add a book to the database.

d. Remove a book from the database.

d) The menu must show on the screen in color. Please use a different color for each function.

e) Fully document (comment) all aspects of your script. Explain what you're doing. Points will be deducted for any undocumented entries.

f) A looping structure MUST be used to process the data files someplace in the script.

g) The file output must be sorted by ISBN, the third column.

h) Make sure the ISBN numbers are formatted like the example output. i) Make sure that when the script is run that the current date is shown.

j) Your script MUST be called project2.ksh.

k) The data file MUST be called books.data

3) The contents of the initial data file.
