Add Pause Prompt In a Shell Script

Use "read". There is no pause command under bash shell.

#!/bin/bash
echo $1
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue."

The sample script above shows what is entered as a command line parameter and then pauses, waiting for the user to press the ENTER key to continue. This creates a PAUSE.
