Using menus with multiple commands solution

Earlier in the month I posted a question on how you could have multiple
commands coming from one menu item i.e. user presses key 1 and it shuts down
an interface. I have eventually came up with a solution which is posted
below. Just in case anyone out there has to do the same.

have a menu which calls a file from the flash and copies it into your
running config

menu EMOS text 1 SHUTDOWN LUCY
menu EMOS command 1 copy slot0:shut91 runn
menu EMOS text 2 SHUTDOWN ANDERSON
menu EMOS command 2 copy slot0:shut92 runn
menu EMOS text 3 SHUTDOWN CUMMING
menu EMOS command 3 copy slot0:shut93 runn
menu EMOS text 4 SHUTDOWN DAVIDSON
menu EMOS command 4 copy slot0:shut94 runn
blah blah blah

the flash looks like
 2 -rw- 10467208 Jan 05 2001 05:12:37 c7200-js-mz.121-4.bin
   15 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:01:33 open91
   17 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:01:42 open92
   18 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:01:47 open93
   19 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:01:56 open94
   20 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:02:01 open95
   21 -rw- 28 May 22 2001 11:02:06 open96
   22 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:12 shut91
   23 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:17 shut92
   24 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:21 shut93
   25 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:26 shut94
   26 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:30 shut95
   27 -rw- 25 May 22 2001 11:02:34 shut96

the file called shut91 looks like

more flash:shut91

int fast0/0.91
shut
end

note the file has to end with "end" otherwise you will have unexpected end
of file in your logs every time the command is issued. I used this menu as
a means for users in a 24 hour by 7 support team who know very little about
Cisco equipment to allow them to shut or open interfaces depending on what
is needed. I had to do this as we have backup servers in a different
location which surprise surprise require the same IP address as its primary
server.

HTH anyone in the near future.
