[GLLUG] Help with a script..

[Jean van Wyngaardt]

Thanks Stuart

The error coming up is this:

/home/ladmin/Desktop/vpn.sh: 7: /home/ladmin/Desktop/vpn.sh: Syntax error: "else" unexpected

Appreciate your help on this. Like you say, it probably needs a "do nothing" type entry. What do you suggest?
