If you want to put an "else if" condition the correct syntax is elif, as in
Code:
ifexpressionthen
<commands>
elifexpression
<commands>
fi
./WebPortalDntest.sh: line 56: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
./WebPortalDntest.sh: line 56: `elif'
Here is the script:
{/}
elif
[ "$host" == "prd6" ] || [ "$host" == "stg6" ] ||
[ "$host" == "wprd6" ] || [ "$host" == "tst6" ];
then

{/}
Hi,
Colucix already gave you the answer. You do not have an if before your else. You cannot just start and else branch nor can you just start with an elif branch. Just remove the else completely in your previous script. This should fix the syntax. Not sure if the logic of your script is correct, though. Your script is unreadable. Please use code tags and reformat it properly.
