Error executing the script.


Running following script for checking root ssh login status.
Code:
Flag=`cat  /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep "^PermitRootLogin"`
if [ -z "$Flag" ]
then
echo "PermitRootLogin is not yet set"
else
echo "$Flag"
YESNOFlag=`echo $Flag|awk '{print $2}'`

if [ "$YESNOFlag" == "yes" ]
then
echo "Root Login Is Enabled"
elif [ "$YESNOFlag" == "no" ]
then
echo "Root Login Is Disabled"
else
echo "Unable to Determine the value"
fi
However i m getting below error.
Code:
# test.sh
/usr/local/sbin/test.sh: line 18: syntax error: unexpected end of file

It might be nice to mention what the problem was, as a help to anyone else who comes across this in the future. "unexpected end of file" usually means there's a command that's missing its closing. And I do indeed see that there's a missing "fi".

Use of a consistent indentation scheme would help with reading/debugging and can help in catching errors like this.

Also, $(..) is highly recommended over `..`.
