this the output,
it just simply run one more time without bring anything from the file.
and assume the username2@hostname.com is the last line of the file.

Code:
 
file2put=mesg.txt
dirname=
+ [ -f mesg.txt ]
+ echo File found, preparing to transfer... \n
File found, preparing to transfer...
+ grep -v ^# share.cfg
+ read line
+ echo line = username1@hostname.com
line = username1@hostname.com
+ read line
+ echo line = username2@hostname.com
line = username2@hostname.com
+ read line
+ echo line =
line =
+ read line
+ exit

Hi,
problem solved.
My server.cfg end with a blank line.
that's why it copy the blank line to the valid_servers too..

I'd remove the blank line and it works now.
Thanks again Smilie

NAME
stg-new - Create a new, empty patch SYNOPSIS
stg new [options] [<name>] DESCRIPTION
Create a new, empty patch on the current stack. The new patch is created on top of the currently applied patches, and is made the new top of the stack. Uncommitted changes in the work tree are not included in the patch -- that is handled by linkstg:refresh[]. The given name must be unique in the stack, and may only contain alphanumeric characters, dashes and underscores. If no name is given, one is generated from the first line of the patch's commit message. An editor will be launched to edit the commit message to be used for the patch, unless the --message flag already specified one. The patchdescr.tmpl template file (if available) is used to pre-fill the editor. OPTIONS
--author "NAME <EMAIL>" Set the author details. --authname NAME Set the author name. --authemail EMAIL Set the author email. --authdate DATE Set the author date. -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor. -f FILE, --file FILE Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.) --save-template FILE Instead of running the command, just write the message template to FILE, and exit. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.) When driving StGit from another program, it is often useful to first call a command with --save-template, then let the user edit the message, and then call the same command with --file. --sign Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch. --ack Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch. STGIT
Part of the StGit suite - see linkman:stg[1] StGit 03/13/2012 STG-NEW(1)
