ISSUE FIXED:
Script was exiting entirely after each menu option instead of returning to
main menu. Users had to re-launch script for each operation.
SOLUTION:
Wrapped entire menu system in while true; do ... done loop:
- Lines 1715-2894: Menu display, input validation, case statement all inside loop
- Option 0: Retained exit 0 to break loop and exit script
- All other options: Exit statements replaced with comments, allowing natural
completion of case block and continuation of loop
- After each operation: press_enter pauses, then loop continues showing menu
FLOW BEFORE:
Menu → Select Option → Process → exit → Shell Prompt
FLOW AFTER:
Menu → Select Option → Process → press_enter → Menu → ...
(Option 0: exit script)
IMPACT:
- Users can perform multiple operations without re-launching script
- Menu-driven interface now works as designed
- Significantly improves usability for batch operations
VERIFICATION:
✓ Syntax validated (bash -n passes)
✓ Structure correct: while/do/case/esac/done properly nested
✓ Option 0 still exits correctly
✓ Options 1-10 now return to menu after completion
