I have written a script which checks the ntp service. It updates it and then starts the service.

There are three things I'm doing in the script below:

1. Check if the service is configured properly and that is it running. Then, just exit from the script. i.e do nothing.
2. If the service is configured properly, then just start service and exit from the script.
3. If the service is not configured, then stop the service -> configure service-> start service.

From above scenarios, scenario-1 and scenario-3 work fine. But while testing the scenario-2, it throws the error below:

~ # sh ntpConfigure.sh ntpConfigure.sh: line 3: NTP_CONF.BAK=/etc/ntp.conf.backup: not found ntpd is not running /etc/init.d/ntpd is NOT running server time.myCompany.com /etc/ntp.conf is configured Service is configured already, starting ntp service Starting ntpd ntpConfigure.sh: line 77: echo Service is started successfully: not found

Any idea why is it throwing this error? I checked everything, but my code looks good. Functionality works fine with the above error. Any ideas?

code:
