Programming :: Syntax Error Near Unexpected Token
Jun 18, 2010
I'm fairly new to shell scripting and am having the hardest time figuring out why this simple script is giving me an error
The error is "syntax error near unexpected token `else'
I'm using TextEdit on OSX (sorry I'm limited to this). The only thing I can think of is that it's reading some return character and getting thrown off. I've tried saving the script using different encoding types but the same error pops up.
I also get an error at line 2 because it does not regonize as a command

Okay, first off I'm no hotshot programmer (and actually lack much familiarity with shell scripting) so apologies in advance if this problem is so trivial as to be irritating.
What I'm trying to do is drop the following command from either a shell script or a perl program. However, while it executes fine and does what it's supposed to when entered from the command line, I can't get it to work as a system call.
Here's the line:
Code:
When I drop it from a shell script like this:
Code:
I get the following:
Code:
If I try escaping the ()s with or ', I get this:
Code:
I've tried a bunch of other stuff to get it working (deleting the ()s, spacing them differently, etc) and looked around online for a solution, but I can't find anything that works.
I tried a shell script directly only after anything I tried to drop it from perl with `` or system() failed with the same errors.

I'm trying to install the Sun Java plugin to use in Chrome. The installation seems to have gone well, but I have hit an error trying to create a symbolic link of the libnpjp2.so library in the plugins directory of Chrome.
When typing in "in -s /opt/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" I get "Syntax error near unexpected token `in' ". I'm not sure what could be wrong, I'm in the right directory.

I am trying to build a script that runs on AIX, Solaris, and various flavors of Linux as well. It is very simple, or so I thought. I have the AIX and Solaris servers working well. Next I tried to get my workstation to run the script and it bombed. I am running Fedora 12 x86_64, but that isn't really important. I have various flavors of Linux. Some CentOS, RH, and even a Gentoo server. The script I have runs every hour on all servers. I can push out changes and install software with it, but the Linux WS won't run it.
Here is my script:
And here are the errors:
Is this just an issue with going between ksh and bash?

I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.

When I am adding removing packages to get more hard drive space, this is not the first time I left too many pages open and it crashes on me. My son would fix it by typing in the terminal sudo something, but I want to know how to do this. The only thing not working is the add/remove packages at the moment. Here is what it said, E:dpkg was interrupted you must manually run 'dpkg--configure -a' to correct the problem E: _cache-open()failed please report. Please, could someone tell me how to get the default back or whatever. When I type in the terminal, it refused my password until I tried several times, plus, it finally says in the terminal No such command. Bash. No such command. I am hoping this question is one you do recognize the answer for.
I tried using Yum to remove the package. Like this:
To remove or uninstall a package:
Code:
yum -y remove ,package name>
Terminal goes: Bash syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
