You can use this simple script for creating options

#!/bin/bash
echo "select the operation ************"
echo "  1)operation 1"
echo "  2)operation 2"
echo "  3)operation 3"
echo "  4)operation 4" 

read n
case $n in


echo "You chose Option 1";;

echo "You chose Option 2";;

echo "You chose Option 3";;

echo "You chose Option 4";;
*) echo "invalid option";;
esac

#!/bin/bash
echo "select the operation ************"
echo "  1)operation 1"
echo "  2)operation 2"
echo "  3)operation 3"
echo "  4)operation 4" <br/>
