Shell script to wait for user input from K3g keyboard
Hi,

I am a new k3g user and not familiar with shell scripts. I installed kite on my k3d with usbnet, and changed the behavior of usbnet script so it displays "storage mode" or "ethernet mode" during the switch - so I know which mode it is going to. I used the eips shell command that I saw elsewhere.

I would like to ask if there is a shell command that will take input from the k3g keyboard - like INPUT in BASIC so it will wait for the user to type a string and be able to use the string in the rest of the script.

Thanks,
James
