$ cat oo.sh
if true
then :
else :
#bla bla bla
$ sh oo.sh
oo.sh: line 5: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Instead of just saying "syntax error...", why not say what it was we
were looking for, e.g. ),},fi,esac etc. Here bash is looking for a
"fi" but doesn't say so clearly. What if there were 3000 lines of
code where the "bla bla bla" is? In that case we would be looking for
days for the problem. Help us narrow it down.
