Please help me with this script
I got some help with the script below. But when I run the script I get an error that says "line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file" Anyone know what is wrong? I am running mac os 10.7. I am saving the script as a .sh file and applying the chmod u+x permissions before running the script.
for USER in {ls -1 /Volumes/Data/Students}
do
echo rm -rf /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo rm -rf /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo mkdir -p /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo ln -s /Users/Shared /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo ln -s /Users/Shared /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo cp -a /var/root/resources/com.ad
echo chmod 777 /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
done
for USER in {ls -1 /Volumes/Data/Students}
do
echo rm -rf /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo rm -rf /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo mkdir -p /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo ln -s /Users/Shared /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo ln -s /Users/Shared /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
echo cp -a /var/root/resources/com.ad
echo chmod 777 /Volumes/Data/Students/$US
done

change that first line to
Make sure you are using the backquote (`) not the forward single quote (')
for USER in `ls -1 /Volumes/Data/Students`
Make sure you are using the backquote (`) not the forward single quote (')
The file extension and permissions have nothing to do with that error. It tells you where to look....Line 2. If that is your entire script, line 2 would be the "do" statement. It's been a while since I did any scripting but isn't do a conditional statement? Do...Until, or Do...While??? Also I was taught that the very first line should declaring the location and type of shell you are using for example:
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/bash

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
