syntax error at line 59: `end of file' unexpected

UNIX Solaris

Hello...

I'm trying to run the sshd script, but I keep geting the Syntax errot message .

Here's the last few lines on the script. set nu in vi shows 58 lines, but I keep getting error referring to line 59. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Remi

                       echo "SSH server is not running!" ;
               fi
               ;;
         *)
               echo "Usage: sshd {start|stop|restart|status}"
               exit 1
      esac
    
      exit 0
      # EOF

It detected the error because it hit eof before it found something it needed. One possibility: a line that should read
var="data"
is missing one of the quotes. And the line could be anywhere in the file.

This is the full script....I still can't seem to figure out what's missing.

The $ at the end of the scripts - due to the set list command.

Thanks Again

It looks like a newline got inserted here. The backquote on the first line is now ignored as part of a comment. The backquote on the second line will be expected to have a mate somewhere.
