Ehhh? Not all people do. I never do:
[herrold@ftp bin]$ grep [[] ORC*
ORCcodingStd: [ -e /etc/PUID ] && head -1 /etc/PUID | awk {'print $2'}
ORCcodingStd:[ -e /etc/ORC/config ] && {
ORCcodingStd:[ -e /etc/ORC/siteoptions ] && . /etc/ORC/siteoptions
ORCcodingStd:# [ -e $PROGPID ] && rm $PROGPID
ORCcodingStd:[ -f /tmp/ORCdebug ] && {
ORCcodingStd:[ "x$1" = "x-d" ] && {
The multiline && construct looks like:
[ "x$1" = "x-d" ] && {
echo "arg one is and option $1 for debugging"
DEBUG="y"
export DEBUG
}
