OK, second try at the question:

I'm using sh to impliment an IF statement.  Can't get it to work.
Here's the code:


#!/bin/sh
if [$temp != '']  then
        echo 'remote-caller' >> .people;
else
	echo 'inside-caller' >> .people;
fi


I keep getting an ELSE UNEXPECTED.  
So, I tried an ELIF, but no go.
Any answers?
(as you can see, I'm new to sh!)
thanx
