Operating Systems HP-UX /etc/profile error Post 302969555 by Don Cragun on Thursday 24th of March 2016 04:14:52 AM

And, as I said, there is in your code:
Code:
   125  if [[ $(whom) = root ]] ; then

with no matching fi. And, /etc/profile should be executable by a Bourne shell, but [[ expression ]] is not valid in a Bourne shell and is not valid in a 1988 version of ksh either (which, if present on your system should also use /etc/profile).

Removing from 126 on should leave you with the same problem. You need to remove line 125 as well!
