Error Need help on a Script in Solaris
[Using Solaris 10]

Ok here's the situation, i need to create a script in terminal that checks that the default umask is set to 025. If it is indeed set to 025, the script should echo "Exception: No"

If it is not set to 025, the script should echo "Exception: Yes"

How do i go about doing it? I'm new to this and the closest thing i can get to printing out the umask is cat /etc/default/login | grep UMASK but that isn't enough. I know i can try to use if else to compare it but i can't get it to work. Any help?

Plus i am using bash, full admin permissions(root)

Many thanks.
