Shell script nested if

Question

What is wrong with the following code in shell script :

Below code throwing unexpected else error:

if [ $result -eq 0 ];
then
  echo "SFTP completed successfully to Prod Remote Server" >> $LOG_FILE
else
    errorConnectToProd=1
   if [[ $result -eq 4 || $result -eq 5 ]];
  echo "FAILED to connect to Server. " >> $LOG_FILE

   else
 echo "FAILED to SFTP to  Remote Server. " >> $LOG_FILE
   fi
fi

Below line giving /usr/bin/sftp not found error:

/usr/bin/sftp –v -oPort=$SFTP_PORT -b $SFTP_BATCH_FILE $SOURCE_FUNCTIONAL_ID@$REMOTE_SERVER_PROD >> $LOG_FILE 2 >> $LOG_FILE

Regards,

Chai

You are missing the then after the second if statement.

It should be

 if [[ $result -eq 4 || $result -eq 5 ]];
 then
   echo "FAILED to connect to Server. " >> $LOG_FILE

As for the second command, either sftp isn't installed or it isn't in /usr/bin.

Run which sftp to find out where it is.

if [[ $result -eq 4 || $result -eq 5 ]];

You forget the 'then' after the if construct.

When it is not found, check if sftp is found in the path.

There are two errors. The syntax error is the missing then. The other error is that this should be a case statement:

exec >> $LOG_FILE
case "$result" in
0)   echo "SFTP completed successfully to Prod Remote Server";;
4|5) errorConnectToProd=1
     echo "FAILED to connect to Server. ";;
*)   echo "FAILED to SFTP to  Remote Server. ";;
