So: echo "CHECKONLY is $CHECKONLY" echo "{CHECKONLY} is ${CHECKONLY}" is for starters. And I would change this to: if [ $CHECKONLY == "no" ]; then if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update fi else /usr/bin/yum-check fi This way, if $CHECKONLY is empty script will just check, not update.
