Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment edit by bakunin: give threads meaningful titles. Do you think "I am stuck. help me." is meaningful? I suggest you read the rules you agreed to obey again (and a good introductory book on Unix too, after this).

Can you ask a question?

You pasted in a script, perhaps written by someone else, and then simply ask for help.
What are you trying to do?
What is going wrong?
What error messages?
You call at least one other .sh script - what does it do?
What files exist in that directory?
and more...

What's the error when you run the script?

A quick glance shows you're missing a "fi" to end an if statement:
Code:
# Output file for cleaning out directories.
OUTPUTFILE=${LOG_DIR}/${PROGRAM}.${HOST}.${DATE}.${TIME}
# validate input file 
if [ -f ${SCRIPT_DIR}/infiles/${INFILE} ]; then
    INPUTFILE=${SCRIPT_DIR}/infiles/${INFILE} 
else    
  echo "${SCRIPT_DIR}/scripts/infiles/${INFILE} not found"    
  exit 4  
fi

That said, without more info its hard to help you.

Did you provide an input file to the script?
