[[ operator in bash ?

Tue Feb 8 09:43:00 GMT 2000

Jean-Paul,
When you copied bash.exe to /usr/bin, did you name it sh.exe? If not,
you can rename it, or change the script so it begins with
#!/usr/bin/bash or you can make a symbolic link to bash named sh:
	cd /usr/bin
	ln -s bash.exe sh
Any of these should give you the bash environment that recognizes the [[
... ]] syntax. There is an sh.exe in /bin that you may want to rename
to ash.exe and make a link or copy of bash.exe named sh there as well.
You could, if you like, completely remove the bash.exe from /usr/bin and
change the link command as follows:
	ln -s /bin/bash.exe sh
being sure you are in /usr/bin when you run it.
