Syntax error in script
Hey guys keep having problems with the below script syntax error near unpexpected token '0' exit 0 I have two directorys backups and Usr in the usr i have sub dir's wp,ss,pic which i would like to back up (copy those directorys to the backups directory) with user acknowledgement from command line. I would then want the ability to restore those files back to the Usr from Backups so the code is below if any one could be so kind to help me out, would be much appreciated. Thanks

Code:
echo "please choose backup or restore"
read bor case "$bor" in 
backup )
ls -d Usr/*
echo "please choose directory to backup (example wp,ss,pic)"
read dir 
case "$dir" in 
wp )
echo "word processor directory backedup"
cp -r Usr/wp Backups/wp;; 
ss )
echo "word processor directory backedup"
cp -r Usr/ss Backups/ss;; 
pic )
echo "word processor directory backedup"
cp -r Usr/pic Backups/pic;;
 restore )
ls -d Backups/*
echo "please choose directory to restore (wp,ss,pic)"
read bdir 
case "$bdir" in 
wp )
echo "word processor directory restored"
cp -r Backups/wp Usr/wp;; 
ss )
echo "word processor directory restored"
cp -r Backups/ss Usr/ss;; 
pic )
echo "word processor directory restored"
cp -r Backups/pic Usr/pic;; 
exit 0

psrinfo

psrinfo(1)						      General Commands Manual							psrinfo(1)

NAME

       psrinfo, pinfo - Displays processor administration information

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo -n

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo [-v] [processor...]

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo -s  processor

       /usr/sbin/pinfo [-v] [processor...]

OPTIONS

       Displays  the  number  of  processors in the system.  Enables verbose mode.  Writes only a boolean value to standard output.  The -s option
       requires a single processor identification number (processor).  The -s option is intended to be used in scripts.  A value of 1 is output if
       the specified processor is on line.  A value of 0 is output if the specified processor is off line.

DESCRIPTION

       The psrinfo and pinfo commands display information about processors.  The processor variable specifies the processor identification number,
       which is a unique integer that identifies the processor.  If you do not specify any options or a processor identification number, the  com-
       mands display information about all processors.

EXAMPLES

       The following is an example of the default prsinfo command output (no options or processor identification numbers):

	      greene:>	psrinfo  0	  on-line    since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 1       on-line	 since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 2	   off-line  since
	      11/03/1999 08:41:34

	      The following example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -s option in a shell script to determine the state of  the  pro-
	      cessor with an identification number of 1:

	      if  [ "`psrinfo -s 1 2> /dev/null`" -eq 1 ] then	    echo "processor 1 is up" else      echo "processor 1 is down" fi The following
	      example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -v option:

	      % psrinfo -v Status of processor 0 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 1 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 2 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been off-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 3 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:14:00
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.
