Code:
$userid=$1

Should be
Code:
userid=$1

Old 06-01-2012
Could you please let me know how can I change that to two users like you have suggested?I have made followin changes to the code to test whether at least for one userid it is allowing or not.
Code:
 #populating the Scripts directory from SVN
    41  cd /export/home/vomappservers/spa/common
    42  pwd
    43  echo "starting checkout scripts directory"
    44  echo "Please enter your urerid  followed by [ENTER]:"
    45  userid=$1
    46  read userid
    47  if [ "$userid" = "$mvaddadi" ]
    48  then
    49  svn checkout  --username $1 https://scm-coconet.capgemini.com/sv...common/scripts
    50  echo "completed https://scm-coconet.capgemini.com/sv...common/scripts directory"
    51  else
    52  echo "invalid id please provide the valid userid"
    53  fi


i have just tried a dry run of the script it has thrown folloing error:
Code:
$ ./testscript.sh
directory already exist
ln: cannot create spa/spa: File exists
directory already exist
directory already exist
directory already exist
