Moving files to specified directory.

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi I have made a shell script which moves files from a trash bin back to the original directory and also has the option to restoring the file to a directory that is specified by the user. The restoring it to the original directory is working fine, the restoring it to a specified directory is now.

My code is below.

Can someone help?

if [ ! $1 ] ; then
        echo "-n  Restores to users specified path."
        exit 1

elif [ $1 ] ; then
       echo Restoring to original directory...
      mv /home/trash/$1 .

elif [ -n $1 ]; then
        echo Restoring to specified user directory
        mv -i $1 .$2 ;
fi

I am not even sure what you are asking. Besides, there is another person asking the same question, and responding roughly the same.. Nearly the same time(s) too... what is going on?
