What's wrong with this script
I am trying to create a script but it is giving me errors on Cygwin for the following script. Could someone tell me, what am I doing wrong?
choice=1000
echo "choice is $choice"
while [ $choice -ne 0 ]; do
echo "choice is $choice"
echo 'Please select your option:'
echo '1. Option 1'
echo '2. Option 2'
echo 'Enter the number:'
read choice
echo "choice is $choice"
if [ $choice -eq 1]; then
echo "You selected option 1"
choice=0
elif [$choice -eq 2]; then
echo "You selected option 2"
choice=0
else
echo "You have entered a wrong choice. Please choose from the options given"
choice=1000
fi
done
echo "Completed."
Response that I get is:
choice is 1000
choice is 1000
Please select your option:
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
Enter the number:
1
choice is 1
[: missing ]
[1: not found
You have entered a wrong choice. Please choose from the options given
choice is 1000
Please select your option:
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
Enter the number:
I think it is not taking $choice as integer in the condition box, but i am not sure.

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
