This looks sort of like a csh script, but if/then in sh doesn't work quite that way. It uses -eq, -ne, and so forth to compare numbers. =, != are used to compare strings.
There must be spaces between the brackets and whatever is inside -- and outside -- them. sh uses single square brackets, or double square brackets, not single round brackets.
You have to put a then after if.
You end the if-statement with fi, not endif.
You probably want less-than, rather than equal or not-equal, since it's possible for there to be one or more arguments, not just one. less-than is abbreviated into -lt.
See Test Operators for what else you can do inside [ ] .
