    If you want to offer your users checkbox-like functionality from a shell script, you may want to look at "dialog". It's by default installed on Linux and is Open Source so it should not be too hard to install on AIX.

    Checkboxes are graphical.  Command-line is cursors-based.  The best you could do is to do characters like:

     

    [  ]  option 1

    [X] option 2
