Where is the error on line four?
if [ $bn == README ]; then
which i still get if i write it as
if [ $bn == README ]
then
or
if [ "$bn" == "README" ]; then
Context:
for fi in /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/*
do
bn=`basename $fi .ini`
if [ $bn == "README" ]
then
echo "~ ***#*** ~"
else
echo "## Shortend for convience ##"
fi
done

The not equal function in Ubuntu bash is denoted by the symbol “-ne,” which would be the initial character of “not equal.” Also included is the “! =” operator that is used to indicate the not equal condition.
$2 is the second command-line argument passed to the shell script or function.
You can check the equality and inequality of two strings in bash by using if statement. “==” is used to check equality and “!= ” is used to check inequality of the strings.
bash is sh, but with more features and better syntax. Bash is “Bourne Again SHell”, and is an improvement of the sh (original Bourne shell). Shell scripting is scripting in any shell, whereas Bash scripting is scripting specifically for Bash. sh is a shell command-line interpreter of Unix/Unix-like operating systems.
You can't use == for single bracket comparisons ([ ]). Use single = instead. Also you must quote the variables to prevent expansion.
if [ "$bn" = README ]; then
If you use [[ ]], that could apply and you wouldn't need to quote the first argument:
if [[ $bn == README ]]; then
Add the following to the top of your script:
#! /bin/bash
In bash, == is the same as = when used inside of single brackets. This is, however, not portable. So you should explicitly tell the shell to use bash as the script's interpreter by putting #! /bin/bash at the top of the script.
Alternatively, do your string comparisons using =. Note that the == operator behaves differently when used inside of double-brackets than when inside of single-brackets (see the link).
