In addition to missing `endif`: `silent execute redraw!` is not going
to work, `execute` receives expression as an argument and `redraw!` is
not one. You actually do not need `execute` here at all, just use
`silent redraw!`.

There is a typo here, also missing proper escaping for `bufname()`,
and in addition to this `execute` is not needed again:

silent !global --single-update %:S

(`:S` handles escaping for shell).
