Hi everyone, i got a problem in this shell scripts where during my execute time, in my third tries, if i enter a correct password then the program still activated my time, anyone can help me to correct my problem ?




#!/bin/bash
time=60
tries=3
start=$(date +%s)

left=$time
while true;do
read -t $left -p "Code: " code
((tries--))
left=$(($time-$(date +%s)+start))
if (( $left<=0 || $tries==0 ));then
echo "Time Activated"
break
fi
if [[ "$code" == "abcde" ]];then
echo "Correct!! Time Deactivated"
break
else
echo "Wrong! Please Try again. There are $left seconds and $tries tries left."
fi
done
exit

nice little script; a slight reordering
seems to make it work OK--

#!/bin/bash
time=60
tries=3
start=$(date +%s)
left=$time
while true
do
left=$(($time-$(date +%s)+start))
read -t $left -p "Code: " code
((tries--))
if [[ "$code" == "abcde" ]];then
echo "Correct!! Time Deactivated"
break
else
if (( $left<=0 || $tries==0 ));then
echo "Time Activated"
break
fi
echo "Wrong! Please Try again. There are $left seconds and $tries tries left."
fi
done
exit

dear tpl : i have try it.. and it works.. but there is one error there happen where during second tries, if we just wait during second tries and wait until time activated it will show there

Code: wrong! please try again. There are 50++ seconds and 1 tries left.
Time Activated

isn't this is not relevant since we are failed to enter the code during second time, and there should be just echo out "Time Activated".. u get what i mean? hope you can help me to share your idea with me..
