Oracle How to Check Multiple conditions in IF statement?
I wish to check two conditions inside the if statement

Condition 1: The two file contents should be identical // using cmp command for this.
Condition 2: The two filenames should NOT be the same.

This is what i did in vain.

Code:
if [[ cmp $entry1 $entry2 && $entry1 != $entry2 ]]; then

where entry1 and entry2 are

Code:
ls *.txt | while IFS='' read -r entry1; do
ls *.txt | while IFS='' read -r entry2; do

Getting this error
Code:
./test.sh: line 48: conditional binary operator expected
./test.sh: line 48: syntax error near `$entry1'

Code:
bash-3.2$ uname -a
SunOS mymac 5.10 Generic_150400-26 sun4v sparc sun4v

Please suggest.

ivmconfigconditions.xml

IVMCONFIGCONDITIONS.XML(5)					File Formats Manual					IVMCONFIGCONDITIONS.XML(5)

NAME

       IvmConfigConditions.xml - rules for processing hardware conditions by ivman(8)

DESCRIPTION

       IvmConfigConditions.xml	specifies  hardware  conditions to be caught by ivman(8), and allows running of certain commands when devices emit
       conditions.

       IvmConfigConditions.xml is parsed as an XML file.  The general form of the file is:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<ivm:ConditionsConfig version="0.1" xmlns:ivm="http://www.eikke.com/ivm">

	   <ivm:Match name="matchname" value="matchvalue">
	      <ivm:Condition name="conditionname1" exec="command1" />
	      <ivm:Condition name="conditionname1" exec="command1" />
	   </ivm:Match>

	   ...

	</ivm:PropertiesConfig>

       Each time a condition is emitted by a device, this file will be parsed.	If the Match rule matches the device on which the  condition  came
       from, and the Condition rule matches the name of the condition which occurred, then the command specified in the 'exec' option will be exe-
       cuted.

       A Match element can have any of the following names:

	    ivm.mountable
		   Whether or not HAL specifies that a device can and should be mounted.  Must be "true" or "false".

	    hal.anything
		   The string in place of "anything" will be taken as the name of a HAL property string for the device, and the value of the prop-
		   erty will be compared to the value given.  Run 'lshal' to see a list of HAL properties which can be used here.

	    *	   Match every device.	Use with care!

       As many Matches can be nested as is desired.

       Condition  names  usually  take	the form of something like 'ButtonPressed', which may occur when an ACPI-enabled button is pressed on your
       machine.  See the HAL specification for a full list of possible conditions.

       The exec attributes of Condition tags support substitution of HAL device properties.  This is accomplished by surrounding the property name
       with  $	symbols.   For instance, if $hal.volume.mount_point$ is within a command, it will be replaced with the volume's mount point before
       execution.  No character escaping is done in the substitution, but the characters ' and " are replaced with ?, so you can surround the sub-
       stitution with quotes without fear.

       Remember  that  this  is  an XML file, which means that characters which have a special meaning in XML (entities) need to be escaped.  Some
       characters which are popular in shell scripting (&, <, >) are among these special characters.  As a quick reference, & becomes  &amp;  ,  <
       becomes &lt; , > becomes &gt; , ' becomes &apos; and " becomes &quot; .
