I have the code below. I want to said

If TrackErrors > 0 or count == 0
then
MailErrors
else
MailSuccess
fi.

if [ ${trackErrors} -gt 0 || ${count} -eq 0 ]
then
MailErrors ${count}
else
MailSuccess ${count}
fi

Any helps greatly appreciated.

I figured out. I hope this will benefit others.

if [ ${trackErrors} -gt 0 -o ${count} -eq 0 ]
then
MailErrors ${count}
else
MailSuccess ${count}
fi

You can change your original structure as well by doubling the brackets:

Code:

if [[ ${trackErrors} -gt 0  || ${count} -eq 0 ]]
then
  MailErrors ${count}
else
  MailSuccess ${count}
fi
