Good Day!

This is my Current Script

clear

echo Ahmad A Kazi

echo IDNO: BD_3456

echo 

echo Data Clear Program

echo c 2015 Ahmad A Kazi

echo

echo First Update

echo 

apt-get update

echo

echo Purge Programs

echo

apt-get purge cmake -y

apt-get purge libtool -y

apt-get purge libcurl4-openssl-dev -y

apt-get purge libjansson-dev -y

This is Just Part of The Script because rest is Proprietary

I want this to be there on top of the Script Output and not Change it's position the Whole Time, this text below should be consistently on the Top The Whole Time

Here's my script. It uses tput cup Y-location X-location and continuously places that info on top of the screen using while loop. You might wanna adjust it for your application but the point is clear. Now give me 3.50$ because this script is copyrighted ;)

#!/bin/sh



clear

while true; do

clear

tput cup 0 0 

printf  "===========

 SERG KOLO 

================Copyright 2015

=================="

sleep 1

tput cup 10 10

echo TEST line one of script

echo "Do you love Ubuntu ? "

read answer 

case $answer in



    y) echo " Have a cookie :3  ";;

    n) echo " Go away, Windows lover  ";;

    *) echo  only y or n ;;

esac



sleep 1



df -h



sleep 1



free -h

sleep 1





done
