I'm building a script that uses a while loop like the following:

$sync=0
while [ $sync -eq 0 ];
do
body of the loop where $sync get changed sevaral times


done

The probleme is when I execute the script it gives me an error saying:

Please help me, thanks in advance

Change $sync=0 to sync=0. bash is not perl, so don't use the $ when assigning to a variable.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Shell-Parameters

PS, the error message is useful: what is on line 53 in your script?
