1. Please use code tags, the forum offers them
2. I copy&pasted your script and have 56 lines at most
3. In the following line you don't close the "
Quote:
LOGFILE=${LOGPATH}/${Filename}_`date "+%d-%h-%Y_%T`.log
4. In many lines you use echo with ---- and : etc. which I prefer to surround by " or ', just to make sure I don't get errors.
5. It can be helpful to use vim instead of vi and have the syntax highlighting turned on. It will show if you have forgotten to close brackets or quotes etc. Any other syntax highlighting capable editor will do too of course.
