Great explanation,especially this link :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/OpenSource/Conceptual/ShellScripting/shell_scripts/chapter_2_section_10.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004268-CH237-SW4
I'm not using some scripting a lot,just very primitive forms and can
read some huge a little,but untill know I thougt about '[ ]' as a
syntax and that if (while or other words) are part,which do
"test",not '['
Thanks a lot and sorry for noise

Hi all,
have you same "problem" ? Look at $ls -lF /bin
There is a [* and test* ,both binaries do the same and cmp(1)
says,that they are same.
Am I missing something or it's bug?
you are missing the lesson in history in unix shell scripting :-)
they are not doubled, they are hard links:
$ ls -i /bin/{test,[} 25985 /bin/[ 25985 /bin/test
