postremove question

I have a very quick pkg question.

I want to query the user after a pkg has been removed whether or not to
execute a certain command. I created a postremove file:

---------
echo ""
echo "foobar pkg removed. Remove it from the manifest? (y/[n]) \c"
read ans
if [ "x${ans}x" = "xyx" ]; then
echo "Now disabling foobar \c"
/usr/sbin/svcadm disable site/foobar
echo "and removing it."
/usr/sbin/svccfg delete -f site/foobar
else
echo "Nothing done. The service is still running, although the underlying"
echo "binary no longer exists."
fi
--------

The script runs after a pkgrm, but it does not wait for user input. How
do I get pkgrm to query the user for a y/n?
