Added some code to a .sh script.
When I run the script works but issues this message

I am not ever sure its talking about.
IS [: whats wrong or =:
I'd guess that what you added includes something like
if [ x=y ]

The open-square-bracket, [, is another name for test. IIRC the
equal sign is not valid in that context.
Can you post the 'before' and 'after' versions of that part of your
script? It would help us in determining what the problem is.

That hint got me to the correct line
I had if [$1 = "basejail" ]; then
You need a space after the opening [ or it doesn't parse correctly.
As Chris said, it's another name for test, so think of it as a word,
i.e., something delimited by whitespace.
