Shell Programming and Scripting
1

how can we execute multiple statements in
else condition
i have
if[ condition ]
then
statement
else
statements
fi
in else condition i have multiple statements
but it executing only one statement
is there any way to execute multiple statements

What Operating System?
What Shell?
What's in the script?

In a normal Bourne-type shell (like ksh, bash or a Posix shell) there should be no problem UNLESS the statements themselves start a new Shell or cause the current shell to exit.

Please post your code, it is likely not the if then else causing the problem
