Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications Reading a file for specific words Post 302420189 by ladyAnne on Tuesday 11th of May 2010 02:10:48 AM

Hi

I've tried this:

Code:
grep $dbname $passwddir
if [$? -ne 0]
then 
dsxlog $reverb --info --module="$module" "$dbname - dbname does not exist" 
exit
fi



It seems to skip the if statement.

Is there any other options to try?

Thanks
