'if' statements need a closing 'fi' line -there are two missing in the posted code. Also, the 'while' needs a closing 'done' line.

It's easier to read your script if you put it in code tags (that's a link to instructions or you may prefer to use "Advanced Edit" mode which has a # button for code tags). This will preserve the indentation you are (hopefully) using.

Please post the output too. It should show information about the line number(s) generating the error.

Where are you getting these scripts?

Regardless, please put code like this into code tags (switch to advanced mode if necessary)

In your latest script, I am not sure what happens when you pipe data into the "while read i......" construct. "read" takes data from standard input, unless told otherwise.

Example: To read from a file:
Code:
while read line; do
    echo $line
done < filename
More generally, the first thing to do when debugging is to try each piece in a terminal to make sure it's doing the right thing.
