Alex,

Code:
 
1. if [ ".$t" != . ]; then

The above is basically to check whether the variable $t is set or not. If it is indeed set to some value, then ".$t" will NOT be equal to "."

eg: if $t is set to a, then ".$t" will be equal to ".a".

Code:
2. if [ -s $status_out ]; then

-s file True if file exists and has a size greater than zero.

"man test" will give you more information.


Code:
3. if [ $t -ge $thresh_warn ]; then

The above is checking whether $t is greater than or equal to $thresh_warn and hence "-ge" option.

This is used for comparing numerals.


HTH,Smilie


Regards,

Praveen

NAME
Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Language; $lang = code2language('en'); # $lang gets 'English' $code = language2code('French'); # $code gets 'fr' @codes = all_language_codes(); @names = all_language_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two- letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. The ones currently supported are: alpha-2 This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639, such as 'he' for Hebrew. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2". This is the default code set. alpha-3 This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639, such as 'heb' for Hebrew. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3". term This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_TERM". ROUTINES
