   There is a missing "fi" here, and various trailing semicolons.

   Please factor out the duplicated echo line so it appears just once.
   Also, of course, s/exit1:/exit 1;/ if you use the latter "copy".

Yes, sorry.  I wrote that chunk in a pseudo-code mud :)
I will adapt the patch to use that solution then.
