And operator

I am trying to check two variables and if both are blank I want to set a flag:

Code:
the_f3_pid=`rsh $target ps -ef | grep "f3.eab" | awk '{print $2}'`
the_f7_pid=`rsh $target ps -ef | grep "f7.eab" | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ "$the_f3_pid" = "" && "$the_f7_pid = "" ] ; then
  y=1
fi

I get an error:

./script_name[18]: test: 0403-021 ] character is missing.

the_f3_pid and the_f7_pid are both blank since the software is not running on the machine I am checking.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
RC

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
