Shrinking Images

[Hoshil N. Desai]

I finally got the script to work.  I had to remove all the error checking
(the if-else) and that did it.  With the if-else statements in place I was
getting the following two errors:

mkJPEGdir: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'kJPEGdir: line 18: `elif [ ! -d "${JPEGdir}" ]; then

I thought I was introducing some extra characters while downloading so I
tried

wget http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson/mkJPEGdir

Thus making sure I was not adding anything to the original file.  But still
the errors persisted.

Anyways, I got it to work without the if-else and it saved me downloading
and configuring one of the image galleries.

Thanks for the script Howard.

Hoshil,

   I cc'ed the list on this because someone else may recognize it.  

   I am unable to reproduce your token not found error.  I assume you have
ImageMagick installed because renaming the convert command causes a command
not found error.  Retyping variables incorrectly causes them to contain no
data.  There is no explicit error message, although the output is messed up.
Changing the command shell from sh to all sorts of other stuff often messed
up, but not with the token not found error.

   What happened when you typed ./mkJPEGdir on its own?  If you give it
anything other than three operators, you should get a usage message.

   It is always possible that some kind of error crept in on your download.
Try saving the file again.
