_______________________________________________________
Details:
The following script lines fail with a syntax error
set bugtest=a
if [ $bugtest = a ] ; then echo yes ; fi # This works
if [ $bugtest > a ] ; then echo yes ; fi # Fails syntax
if [ $bugtest > 'a' ] ; then echo yes ; fi # Fails syntax
if [ $bugtest > "a" ] ; then echo yes ; fi # Fails syntax
if [ $bugtest > ((a)) ] ; then echo yes ; fi # Fails syntax
Also using the less than sign < fails in the same way with messages:
error: syntax error.
error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.
This happens on all releases of Grub 2.02 that I have tried including Grub
2.02 RC1
