Stop a shell script

msb65 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-03-2008

Hi,

I am writing a bash shell script. How can I tell it to stop. For example, I would like to have something similar to the following:

mike=1

if [mike -ne 1]; then
STOP THE SCRIPT
fi

Code:

mike=1

if [mike -ne 1]; then
 exit
fi

There must be a space between the conditional expression and the brackets:

Code:

mike=1

if [ mike -ne 1 ]; then
 exit
fi

well, you could make an if consdition to check if some file exists.
you run the script, an when you want it to finish, just create the file with touch
