[Solved] How to stop script at certain condition?
Hi Gurus,

my script likes below
Code:
if [condition];then
    if [condition1]; then
       exit 30
    fi
if
 for loop
do
done

I want to if condition1 is true, it exit the execution the script completely with error code 30. but right now it still exe for loop.
I try to add below
Code:
if [condition];then
    if [condition1]; then
       exit 30
    fi
var=`echo $?`
if var!=0
exit 30
fi
if
 for loop
do
done

but the echo $? give me 0 even the condition1 is not true.

anybody inputs are welcome

thanks in advance

The code you have posted is syntactically wrong. And the exit you've used is not in a loop. Please post the actual code.
