Linux- shell script - if then else - error
Hi
I am using Linux, I am getting the error while executing the shell script., the code in the shell script is

Code:
# $Header:$
#!/bin/ksh
l_filesleft=1
if [ $l_filesleft -gt 0 ] then
echo "File has exceeded the 100 MB limit."
else
echo "None"
fi

Error:
Code:
mc.sh: line 9: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Thanks in advance
DC

Code:
 
mc.sh: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
