How about the following idea (and this is a rough, off the top of my
head type solution - there's probably heavy lifting left to do here) -
set the script as the .cshrc, and then do this in the .cshrc:
if(We're not on the right server)
serverSelect()
else
doStuff()
serverSelect()
{
# do the menu stuff, get your answer, and then...
rcp .cshrc username at domain servername:~/.cshrc
rlogin -l username servername
# Maybe it's cheating a bit...
}
Dave.
