Greetings; A bash script that has worked most of a decade now refuses.
For instance, assume that var InMail is = "gene", and can be echoed from the command line using $InMail like this. gene@coyote:~$ echo $InMail gene But I'll be switched if I can get a result from a line of code resembling this from the command line while attempting to troubleshoot a 110 line bash script: which asks "if test [${InMail} = "gene"] then ----- elif (another name) yadda yadda gene@coyote:~$ echo `test [${InMail} = "gene"]` All I get is the linefeed. Obviously I'm losing it, so how do I translate and get usefull output for troubleshooting? Thanks bashers; Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
