Bash Script: Trouble unable to run
I am trying to create a menu, and the script fails on ln 38 (Files in pwd). Any idea on where the problem is??

Thanks for the help

Rob




Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Cool Script for Weekly Assignment 2 (#3) that creates a menu to act as a ui
# and run some popular commands.
clear
while :
  do 
     clear
     echo "**************************************************"
     echo " Main Menu of Linux User Interface"
     echo " Today's Date and Time: " `date`
     echo "**************************************************"



     echo "[1] Display Calendar for current year"
     echo "[2] Show files in your home directory"
     echo "[3] Launch vi to create/edit a file"
     echo "[4] Shutdown system now"
     echo "[5] Shutdown system in 5 minutes"
     echo "[6] Show files in current directory"
     echo "[7] Exit/Stop"
     echo "******************************"
     echo -n "Please enter your menu choice [1-7] : "
     read choice
     case $choice in
       1) echo `cal -y`; echo "Press any key ..."; read ;;
       2) echo "Files in `$HOME`" ; ls -l ; echo "Press any key ..." ; read ;;
       3) vi ;;
       4) clear
          echo " "
          echo " "
          read -p "Are you sure you want to shut down? - Y/N: " choice
          if [[ "$choice" = 'Y' ]] ; then
          sudo shutdown -h now
          fi 
          clear ;;
       5) sudo shutdown -h now
       6) echo "Files in `pwd` ; ls -l ; echo "Press any key ..." ; read ;;
       7) exit 0 ;;
       *) echo "Invalid selection!!!  Please select choice 1,2,3,4,5,6, or 7";
          echo "Press any key ..." ; read ;;

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
