  I am trying to run my command but it comes up with this error:
  syntax error near unexpected token `fi' on line 7.
  
  Here is my command:
  
  if [ $# -gt 0 ]
  then
  if [ $1 = head ] || [$1 = tail ]
  then
  $1 -n $3
  else
  
  You did not put an action to execute after the else statement. The "else" statement always needs an action in order for the command to execute properly.
  
  If this is not satisfied, "$1 -n $3, what should the command do as a result?
  
  fi
  fi
  
  if [ -d $3 ]
  then
  echo "Directory selected exists"
  else
  echo "Directory selected does not exist"
  fi
  
  if [[ $2 = *[[:digit:[[* [[;
  then
  echo "value is a digit"
  else
  echo "$2 is not an integer"
  fi
