Full Discussion: Variable in IF condition
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Variable in IF condition Post 302789639 by budz26 on Thursday 4th of April 2013 03:27:50 AM

Seems AIX is not that strict. I just recreate the scenario and the actual script is used for deleting old files and need to justify why script still works even though VAR is unassigned.(but sometimes it doesn't because files were not deleted).

Running in verbose, In condition#1, VAR -eq 1 was evaluated as true. VAR in condition#2 is assigned since variable is correctly used.

Code:
+ [ VAR -eq 1 ]
+ echo One
One

if [ $VAR -eq 1 ]; then
   echo "Two"
fi
+ [ 1 -eq 1 ]
+ echo Two
Two
