bash any key

Here’s the script to add pauses in your Bash script.

echo "please wait until web page loads ... "
read -p "Press any key to continue... " -n1 -s

You can also put it inside a function and call it multiple times.

function press_any_key {
  echo "please wait until web page loads ... "
  read -p "Press any key to continue... " -n1 -s
}
press_any_key
