Thank you! This is a very good example

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it :)

Good job. But I think you don't need option "9)" "End script". Simply check the command exit code and break the loop.

while [ 1 ]
do
    whiptail --title="[...]" --menu="[...]" [...]
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then # user pressed <Cancel> button
        break
    fi
done
