Hi
Below if $remaining is empty i want the if to finish - what is it i need to put in SOMETHING?
if [ "$remaining" = "" ] ; then SOMETHING ; else kill -9 $remaining fi
A ":" on it's own will do what you want.
if [ "$remaining" = "" ] then : else kill -9 $remaining fi
But better would be
if [ -n "$remaining" ] then kill -9 $remaining fi
