I need a shell script that removes all scheduled before 17:00 jobs with the user name as a positional parameter
This is what I tried to do



#!/bin/bash
currentTime = ‘date + %k%M’
check_time_tu_run()

tempTime=$1
if
[ $tempTime -gt 000 -a $tempTime -lt 1700];
then
for i in `atq

check_time_to_run $currentTime

  1. You're using the wrong quoting around the date command. You're using "curly" single quotes (‘...’) instead of backticks (`...`), but use $(...) instead of backticks.

  2. You're not allowed spaces around the = for a variable assignment

  3. The + must not be followed by a space.

Use: currentTime=$( date +%k%M )



Also the name of the function you define (check_time_tu_run)

is not the name of the function you call (check_time_to_run)



There are other errors: paste your code into https://www.shellcheck.net for more assistance.
