On 2001-08-14, Drew Tomlinson scribbled:
# I see but this didn't work for me either. This is what I get.
#
# if [ "$1"=="" ] #Tried with both single and double "="
# then $1="www"
# fi
# + [ test== ]
# + test=www
# test=www: not found
Here's something that I scratched out in Emacs:
lpham@dnscache:/home/lpham --> cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
test=foo
if [ $test=="" ]
then
echo "nothing"
fi
lpham@dnscache:/home/lpham --> sh test.sh
nothing
Try removing the quotes around $1.
