Use test (a.k.a. [):

Code:

if [ -z "$2" ]
then ## Second argument is empty
   : do something
else
   : do something else
fi

        ((startTime= `perl -e 'print time;'`))
	((currentTime= $startTime))
	((executeTime= $startTime))
	tempTime=`date +%H%M`


	# Check if the second command argument is exists.
	if[ "$#" <  2 ]
	then
		((endTime = $startTime + 28800))		# Add 8 hours = 28800 seconds

	# If The second command line argument isn't empty
	else
		((temp = `expr $2 - $tempTime`))
		if[ $temp < 0 ]					# If temp is negative convert it to positive
		then
			((tempHour = temp / 100))
			((tempHour = tempHour * -3600)) 	# Multiply hours by -3600 seconds per hour to make positive
			((tempMin = temp % 100))
			((tempMin = tempMin * -60))		# Multiple minutes by -60 seconds per minute to make positive
			

		else
			((tempHour = temp / 100))
			((tempHour =  tempHour * 3600)) 	# Multiply hours by 3600 seconds per hour
			((tempMin = temp % 100))
			((tempMin =  tempMin * 60))		# Multiple minutes by 60 seconds per minute
		fi

		((endTime = $endTime + $tempHour + $tempMin))
	fi
