/usr/local/sbin/serctl: syntax error at line 923: `attempt=$' unexpected

The line should read:

attempt=$(($attempt + 1))

correct ? It works for me, what shell version, OS, distribution do you have ?

The serctl script uses some non-sh specific features (like attempt=$(($attempt + 1))). Try to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash (or #!/usr/local/bin/bash) or try to replace all the lines of the form a=$(($a+1) with a=`expr $a + 1`.

This will be fixed on cvs.
