why isn't the exit status true?
the code:
do [ -d ${mk_backup_dir[$i]} ] || mkdir -p ${mk_backup_dir[$i]} [ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "ERROR: release backup directory creation failed -${mk_backup_dir[$i]}" && exit done echo "INFO: Backup directories created" the result: mkdir: "/cm/uat_releases/riab/uat/2345": Permission denied ERROR: release backup directory creation failed - /cm/uat_releases/riab/uat/2345 No such file or directory INFO: Backup directories created isn't the exit status of the first command on the 3rd line 'true', so therefore the script will exit '&& exit'? but it doesn't, it carries on and displays 'Backup directories created'. why? |
