          Your script,



          cd /$UBCS
          if [ -f /$UBM/CSUSER.LOCKED -o -f /$UBM/CSUSER.START]
          -o f /$UBM/CSUSER.UPDATE ];
          then
          exit;
          fi


          has a syntax error. You have unbalanced [ ... ] in the if-statement. You also need a space between /$UBM/CSUSER.START and the following ].



          #!/bin/sh

          cd "/$UBCS" || exit 1

          if [ -f "/$UBM/CSUSER.LOCKED" ] ||
          [ -f "/$UBM/CSUSER.START" ] ||
          [ -f "/$UBM/CSUSER.UPDATE" ]
          then
          exit
          fi


          Do try pasting your scripts into ShellCheck: https://www.shellcheck.net/



          Also, you don't get compilation errors for shell scripts (as they are not compiled). They are parsing errors.
