Bash syntax error: unexpected end of file<\/p>\n

Here’s the code:<\/p>\n

bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
#!\/bin\/bash# june 2011if [ $# -lt 3 -o $# -gt 3 ]; then   echo "Error... Usage: $0 host database username"   exit 0Fi<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
    \n
  • after running sh file.sh:<\/li>\n
  • syntax error: unexpected end of file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • file.sh is with CRLF line terminators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
       
       bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
      dos2unix file.sh<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n
      then the problem will be fixed.<\/p>\n
        \n
      • You can install dos2unix in ubuntu with this:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
         
         bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
        sudo apt-get install dos2unix<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
         
         bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
        die () { test -n "$@" && echo "$@"; exit 1 }<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
          \n
        • Terminate bodies of single-line functions with semicolon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          I.e. this innocent-looking snippet will cause the same error:<\/p>\n
           
           <\/div> 
           die () { test -n "$@" && echo "$@"; exit 1 }<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n
            \n
          • To make the dumb parser:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
             
             bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
            die () { test -n "$@" && echo "$@"; exit 1; }<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
              \n
            • We needed on cygwin :-<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
               
               bash code<\/span> <\/div> 
               export SHELLOPTS set -o igncr<\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n
              in .bash_profile . This way we didn’t need to run unix2dos<\/p>\n
                \n
              • Make sure the name of the directory in which the .sh file is present does not have a space character.<\/li>\n
              • e.g: Say if it is in a folder called ‘New Folder’, you’re bound to come across the error that you’ve cited. Instead just name it as ‘New_Folder’.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
