By the way, wouldn't it be more readable to write the loop as
Code:
while [[ "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]]
do
...
done

well it gave me the same error. I will post my script, not because I want you to solve it for me but because I already trying this since last week and as a new guy where I need a lot of help
__________________________________________
Code:

#!/bin/sh

user=`whoami`
pname="svn `whoami`"
var=0

LOGFILE=`mktemp -t svn_checkout.XXXXXX`
ICONPATH="`dirname $0`/svn.xpm"
list=`ssh $user@192.168.1.3 "ls /esp-server/svn"`
URL=`zenity --entry --title="Subversion: Checkout" --text="$list

Enter repository folder according to the the aboves:" --entry-text="" --width=400 --window-icon="$ICONPATH" 2>&1`

#So until where is everything ok and my script work as I want. The problem was when #I wanted to add a progress bar to my script

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
  svn checkout svn+ssh://$user@192.168.1.3/esp-server/svn/$URL &> $LOGFILE & pid1=$!
  zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-kill & pid2=$!
  
  while [ $var -lt 1 ]
  do
    ps aux | awk '{ print $11 " " $1 }' | grep svn > svn.txt    
    
#until where is also ok

    infile=`cat svn.txt`
    echo $infile
    until [[ "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]]
    do
#then when it enters where I'm not sure if it works. Like, I know it goes inside the until #because the echo in the next lines are "echoed", but the until never stops and thats #very confusing because my condition is until "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" and after the svn command is done, the svn.txt is empty and so 
#[["`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]] is true and so should go out from the until
    echo $infile
    echo $pname
    
    ps aux | awk '{ print $11 " " $1 }' | grep svn > svn.txt ;
    
    
    done

    $var=2   #this is for exit the while 
    kill $pid2 # and this to kill the progress bar
    
      
    
  done
  rm -f svn.txt
  rm -f $LOGFILE

fi

and by the way, my verbose says error line 44 which is the last if. why


Please help
thanks in advance

SVN-AUTORELEASEDEB.CONF(5)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				SVN-AUTORELEASEDEB.CONF(5)

NAME
svn-autoreleasedeb.conf - Configuration for svn-autoreleasedeb SYNOPSIS
/etc/svn-autoreleasedeb.conf $HOME/.svn-autoreleasedeb/conf DESCRIPTION
The svn-autoreleasedeb configuration file is writed in XML, because XML is easy to work with multiple-level data, but it's already in the TODO list to use a better format. As a good XML file, this config file has the following header. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE svn-autoreleasedeb [ <!ELEMENT sources (server)+> <!ELEMENT server (package)+> <!ATTLIST server name CDATA #REQUIRED options CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT package (option)+> <!ATTLIST package name CDATA #REQUIRED svnserver CDATA #REQUIRED prefix CDATA #REQUIRED tag CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT option EMPTY> <!ATTLIST option name CDATA #REQUIRED value CDATA #REQUIRED> ]> Which, in fact, tells the structure of the XML file. But in the case you don't know XML, this header tells that, in the sources, you have servers, which have packages, which have options. A server has the "name" and the "option" properies, a package has "name", "svnserver", "prefix" and "tag" properties and an option has "name" and "value" property. Before explaining how the options affects the script, you must know that in the current version, all the tags and properties MUST be lower- case (it's already on the TODO list). CONFIGURATION SECTIONS
server This is the master section, tells what server to dupload. Actually, the "name" property of the server is used as the "--to" parameter to dupload. Packages are declared inside servers. Also, the "options" property tells aditional parameters to svn-buildpackage for every pack- age in this server. package The package itself, the "name" property is used as the module name for svn checkout. The "svnserver" property is passed to svn and the "prefix" is placed before the module name, used if your package is inside some other directory than the svn root. You must inform the tag to checkout the sources from. This tag should be used to point where to get the release from. "stable" is a good name for a tag. option Specify an option to a package. The following options are accepted and increment the following text to the svn-buildpackage command: binary-source = 1: "-b" EXAMPLE
In the case you still didn't understand the config file, follows an example: <server name="intern"> <package name="svn-autoreleasedeb" svnserver="svn://ruoso@ozonio:/var/svn" prefix="" tag="trunk"> </package> <package name="someotherpackage" svnserver="svn://ruoso@ozonio:/var/svn" prefix="" tag="trunk"> <option name="binary-source" value="1"/> </package> </server> SEE ALSO
