Question How would I construct a (possibly simple) IF statement?
Hi all,

I thought this would be simple, but I've been having a lot of trouble trying to write this IF statement, if I may ask for help pls:


In BASH, how would I construct the if statement:
Should ONLY be true if
Code:
[[USEROPTscript=="yes"]] AND [[ $mode=="INSTALL" /or/ $mode=="CHANGE" ]]

...the closest I can get is a variant where it runs, but it incorrectly thinks it's true if $mode=="REMOVE"

Thanks so much,
JMC
