Try executing the commands one by one from the command line so that you can see exactly where and why the script is failing. If the commands don't work manually then they're not going to work in a script. Copy the error messages and allow google to help you find solutions. It's a lot of fun learning this way, because there are normally many different solutions and you will learn PLENTY about shell scripting and your OS.
The way you test 'temp' is wrong. It's not a test (you should use [] for that, see 'man test'), and it's not a variable. [ $temp -gt 20 ] && fail || good Tip: execute your script with "bash -x scriptname" and you'll see every command executed (or change the first line to include -x). Paul
