#!/bin/bash


echo -n "Enter yes or no > "

read yesno

echo "yesno is $yesno"


if [ $yesno = "yes" ]  ; then

    echo "You input yes"

# do something - here get uptime
     let upSeconds="$(awk '{ print $1 }' /proc/uptime | cut -f1 -d ".")"
     let secs=$((${upSeconds}%60))
     let mins=$((${upSeconds}/60%60))
     let hours=$((${upSeconds}/3600%24))
     let days=$((${upSeconds}/86400))
     if [ "${days}" -ne "0" ]
         then
	 echo -n "${days} days"
     fi
     echo -n " ${hours}:${mins}"

else
# do something else - here just echo response
 
   echo "You input no"

fi
