Syntax error: unexpected end of file

You are missing the "done" to terminate the while ...; do loop
Line 7 leave blank
line 8 done

Should solve the end of file error.

You’re missing the “done” statement. Add a line 8 containing just “done “.

You have a backslash at the end of line 6.  The backslash indicates that there will be a continuation on the next line.  That's why there's an error about line 7, if you don't have a line 7.  If that's not what you meant, then you should remove it.

 6         --tab -t "SMM" -e " sh -c 'sleep 10s; ./startapp SMM' "\

Now following script is ok for execute. After execution this script not execute from mention path...
path :- cd /home/rajat/Desktop/Symbol_4.1.1.1_0812

executing from:- /home/rajat

why it is happning ?


[root@119 bin]# ./BOD.sh

Script:-
[root@119 bin]# vim BOD.sh
  1 #!/bin/bash
  2 export DISPLAY=:1
  3 cat /home/rajat/Desktop/version.txt |  while read output
  4 do
  5 gnome-terminal \
  6         --tab -t "SMM" -e " sh -c 'sleep 10s; ./startapp SMM' "\
  7
  8 done

   
[rajat@119 Desktop]$ cat version.txt
cd /home/rajat/Desktop/Symbol_4.1.1.1_0812

You can not declare DISPLAY AS IT HAS A special meaning and will be setup when the incoming connection includes an X11 tunnel and this server supports x11forwarding in sshd_config.

If you don't understand how DISPLAY is used, then you shouldn't be changing it yourself.  You should also remove that backslash at the end of line 6, rather than adding a blank line for no good reason.
