syntax error at line 59: `end of file' unexpected

Hello...

I'm trying to run the sshd script, but I keep geting the Syntax errot message .

Here's the last few lines on the script. set nu in vi shows 58 lines, but I keep getting error referring to line 59. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Remi

Code:
  else
                       echo "SSH server is not running!" ;
               fi
               ;;
         *)
               echo "Usage: sshd {start|stop|restart|status}"
               exit 1
      esac
    
      exit 0
      # EOF


"sshd" 58 lines, 1501 characters
# cd ..
# pwd
/etc
# cd rc2.d
# ./S98sshd start
./S98sshd: syntax error at line 59: `end of file' unexpected

It detected the error because it hit eof before it found something it needed. One possibility: a line that should read
var="data"
is missing one of the quotes. And the line could be anywhere in the file.

This is the full script....I still can't seem to figure out what's missing.


Thanks,

The $ at the end of the scripts - due to the set list command.


Thanks Again

It looks like a newline got inserted here. The backquote on the first line is now ignored as part of a comment. The backquote on the second line will be expected to have a mate somewhere.
