Few corrections and modifications:
Code:
if grep -q "ERROR" /home/infrmtca/bin/logfile 
then
      echo "Failure"
else
      echo "Success"
fi

But why is it not working when I put the same in [] like [if grep -q "ERROR" /home/infrmtca/bin/logfile]

Error:
Code:
/home/infrmtca/bin/test.sh: line 5: [: too many arguments
Failure
