Stopping a shell script
This is simple for an experianced scripter but that is not what I am Smilie

Code:
if [ $End_Date != '-' -a $End_Date > $Start_Date ]; then
     echo -==Test Passed $3 $4==- >> $1$2
     nohup $6$7 & >> $1$2
     else
     echo -==$8==- >> $1$9
     echo -==$8==- >> $1$2
fi

In the else step I also want to stop the script from moving on. What is the command for that?

I tried your suggestion without success

Code:
if [ $End_Date != '-' -a $End_Date > $Start_Date ]; then
		echo -==Test Passed $3 $4==- >> $1$2
		nohup $6$7 & >> $1$2
	else
     echo -==$8==- >> $1$9
     echo -==$8==- >> $1$2
     return
fi

What did I do wrong?

use exit to stop the execution of a script

Use exit with an exit code to indicate success or failure
0 : success
anything but 0 : failure
