Countdown timer with seconds

I would like this to work with seconds as well.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# 
 
if [ "$#" -lt "2" ] ; then 
    echo "Incorrect usage ! Example:" 
    echo './CountDown.sh -d  "Jun 10 2011 16:06"' 
    echo 'or' 
    echo './CountDown.sh -m  90' 
    exit 1 
fi 
 
now=`date +%s` 
 
if [ "$1" = "-d" ] ; then 
    until=`date -d "$2" +%s` 
    sec_rem=`expr $until - $now` 
    echo "-d" 
    if [ $sec_rem -lt 1 ]; then 
        echo "$2 is already history !" 
    fi 
fi 
 
if [ "$1" = "-m" ] ; then 
    until=`expr 60 \* $2` 
    until=`expr $until + $now` 
    sec_rem=`expr $until - $now` 
    echo "-m" 
    if [ $sec_rem -lt 1 ]; then 
        echo "$2 is already history !" 
    fi 
fi 
 
_R=0

col=`tput cols`
col=$[ $col -5 ]

while [ $sec_rem -gt 0 ]; do

    date 
    let sec_rem=$sec_rem-1 
    interval=$sec_rem

        total_time=$[$hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60 + $seconds]
    fi
    
    printf -v f "%$(echo $_R)s>" ; printf "%s\n" "${f// /=}"
    _C=7
    tput cup 7 $col

    tmp=$percent
    percent=$[$progress * 100 / $total_time]
    printf "]%d%%" $percent
    change=$[$percent - $tmp]

    _R=$[ $col * $percent / 100 ]

    sleep 1
done

Code:
test.sh -s 9  /home/andy/bin/test.sh: line 95: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I feel that the syntax error is kind of vague?

Count the "fi" s.

Added fi.

Code:
if [ "$1" = "-m" ] ; then
     until=`expr 60 \* $2`
      until=`expr $until + $now`
      sec_rem=`expr $until - $now`
      echo "-m"
      if [ $sec_rem -lt 1 ]; then
          echo "$2 is already history !"
      fi
  fi

Code:
andy@7_~/Downloads$ test.sh -s 20
expr: syntax error
-s
20 is already history !

Your sparse "specifications" and problem "descriptions" nor your sloppy and careless data posting, you frequently having to correct yourself, urging people in here to tidy up for you, don't really help find errors and create solutions for you.


That said, run the script with the shell's -x (--xtrace) option set and you'll immediately spot the error.

Your cutdowns add nothing.

If it bothers you so much, I recommend not responding.

I am not perfect and neither are you.
