can`t get this script to write

#

hour=`date +%H`H # store the part of the date string that shows the hour

if [ "$hour"‑le 12 ] # check for the morning hours

then

echo "GOOD MORNING"

elif [ "$hour" ‑le 18 ] # check for the afternoon hours

then

echo "GOOD AFTERNOON"

else

echo "GOOD EVENING"

fi

$_

Winie,

1. leave the ending H from the command

hour=`date +%H`H

2. Surround each '-le' in test commands with spaces on both sides

3. you need not use quotation marks in your tests like

if [ "$hour"‑le 12 ]

in this case, but you can.

Regards

if-else-fi are beautifull, other tools better, try:
#!/bin/sh
case `date +%H` in 19¦2? ) x=EVENING ;; 1[3-8] ) x=AFTERNOON ;; esac
echo GOOD ${x:-MORING}
exit 0 # needless here, but a good practice
