after compilation the below error test_script.sh: test: ] missing.

Please use code tags when posting data and code samples!

Code:

read mon
if [[ -f load.sh && -z $mon ]]

instead of:

Code:

read $mon
if [ -f load.sh && $mon ]

The first issue was we should not include the $ during read input
Second in the test you can't test a string.

Can you try the below... It should work for you

Code:

#! /bin/ksh
echo " enter value of mon"
read mon
if [ -f load.sh ]
then
        if [ "$mon" != "" ]
        then
                load.sh "$mon"
        else
                echo "Failed"
        fi
else
        echo "Failed"
fi
