How can I make this work so that if answer is incorrect go back to ask it again?

    This ought to do it:

    
    while [ "$yn" != "Yes" ]; do
     echo "Please enter your Host Name"
     read hname
     echo "You have entered $hname, is this correct? (Yes or No)"
      read yn
    done
    sh runscript.sh
