bash script on linux to create ATM machine system - linux

Question

Bellow is my code for a shell script. I can't run it in a terminal. Could anyone tell me why this is?
#!/bin/bash
TIMELIMIT=500
#start="y"
while [["$start"!="n"]]
do
setterm-clear all
echo -en'\E[45;55m'"\033[1mcopyright reserved by Ali\033[Om"
echo " *********************************************************** "
#tput sgr0
#echo-e"\033[;10;40m"
echo "PLEASE INSERT YOUR CARD"
#tput sgr0
#echo-e"\033[45;41m"
echo "WELCOME TO BANK IT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE"
sleep 5
echo " Loading..."
#sleep 3
#id=id | awk -F[=(]' '{print $1 $1 $1 $1}'
#echo -e "\033[;10;40m"
echo-e "PLEASE KEY IN YOUR PASSWOED: \c"
#tput sgr0
read-t $TIMELIMIT userpassword
setterm-clear all
if [-z"$userpassowrd" ]
then
echo "YOU USE TOO LONG TIME, PLEASE TRY AGAIN"
sleep 3
./t3.sh
fi
#seeterm-clear all
echo "Loading..."
sleep 5
#setterm-clear all
sleep 3

grep-s "$idpassword" db
#Verify ID number with Password
if ["$?" = 1]
then
echo "INVALIDE PASSWORD! PLEASE TRY AGAIN."
sleep 3

setterm-clear all
nawk-F:'/'$idpassword'/{print $2}' db > db10

#User no need press enter here.
read-s-t $TIMELIMIT-n1 service

Like Mat said, you need to be more specific. However, I notice that this line:
while [["$start"!="n"]]
Should be
while [[ "$start"!="n" ]]
Meaning you need spaces after [[ and before ]]. There might be more bugs in your script, please debug them and if you have more specific questions, just ask and the community might be able to help.
