AlphaChrist,

Guari is almost right..

*) is used as a default switch in case-esac conditional structure.

for e.g.
case $day in
1) echo "sunday";;
2) echo "monday";;
.....
*) echo "not a weekday";;

and gauri,
an "if" has a corresponding "elif" (else if, as need may be) and ends with "fi".

Goodluck!
