This is *not* a good idea. Creating dynamic web pages with shell can be done,
but it's not one of the things that shell is designed for/good at. One way is
briefly described at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/ssi.html . You
will have an easier time of it if you use something that's designed for
creating dynamic web pages, like mod_python or CGI-Perl or Ruby on Rails or
PHP.

How is this working? If I paste the above into temp.sh and execute it, it
says "/bin/bash: - : invalid option". If I fix the interpreter line so it
says "#!/bin/bash" , it complains that readin and cls are not valid bash
commands. If I replace "ans=`readin`" with "read ans" and "cls" with "clear",
it fails with a syntax error because "esac done" is in there twice.
