You can probably make a menu system like this by using shell scripts. Your best bet is just plain old bash - there's a tutorial on bash shell scripting/programming here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html

If you are looking for a fancier menu, then try dialog. It's in the repos. It provides a method of displaying several different types of dialog boxes from shell scripts.


dialog --menu Menu 20 40 5 [W] "How to" [U] "Global admin" [Q] "Exit"
