This moves all the lines to left starting at position 0.

I want indentation to be like the follwoing
Code:
          if (command)
          then
              echo "hello world"
          fi

Same case for while loops and other syntaxes

Are you in shell-script-mode?

Try M-x (usually Alt-X) shell-script-mode, then do the above.

Change mode to M-x and then moved to the top of buffer pressed
ctrl+space

then moved to the bottom of buffer and pressed ctrl+alt+\

It did not do anything.
All the lines are still starting from the left most side without any indentation

Is it really possible to get all the identation with emac as how a professional shellscripter does indentation?

Help is highly appreciated.

M-x is not a mode, it allows you to enter a command. After pressing M-x, enter the command:
Code:
shell-script-mode

to enter shell-script mode.

Sir,

I did
1)Alt+x
2)shell-script-mode
3)ctrl+space on top of buffer
4)at bottom of buffer ctrl+alt+\

this did change the code to right by 4 spaces
Code:
    help () {
    print $USAGE
    echo "-h see this help"
    echo "-c input file (required)"
    exit 0 
    }


I would like emac to do as following
Code:
    help () {
        print $USAGE
        echo "-h see this help"
        echo "-c Config File (required)"
        exit 0 
    }

This kind of indentation should be done.
And for nested if statements then it should do indentation for nested if as how it is done by a shell scripter.

Code:
if condition
then
    ....
        if condition
        then
            .......
        fi
fi

Appreciate all your help.
