Code:

> cat chk_pwd 
#! /bin/bash

echo "Hello there Mr. Bond."
echo " "
echo "Please enter your passcode"
read input1

echo "Please re-enter your passcode"
read input2
echo " "

if [ $input1 = $input2 ]
   then
      echo "Identity verified, you may proceed"
   else
      echo "Security violation, MI6 has been notified"
fi
