  • "update1.run: line 187: syntax error: unexpected end of file" Where is the line 187 ? Try to add an exit at the end of the script.

You are missing a fi at line 18

read -p "If you are sure then type DUCKS in all caps. If not type that isn't DUCKS."
if [ "$REPLY" != "DUCKS" ]; then
        echo "QUACK..."
        exit 1
fi
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/title --type=string "Removing ads"

Quoting $REPLY helps too.

  • Double check. You are undoubtedly missing a fi there.
