Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting A puzzle with a printing function executing in background Post 302488031 by Scrutinizer on Friday 14th of January 2011 04:17:20 PM

IMO is is because the variable STOP is not set, so in the first script the following is evaluated:
Code:
[ -f ]

and in the second script
Code:
[ -f "" ]

So the first script does not use double quotes and the second does.

This produces different outcomes:
Code:
$ [ -f ] && echo hello
hello
$ [ -f "" ] && echo hello
$
