Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Script creates additional file Post 303000816 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 20th of July 2017 07:27:02 AM

[[ ]] and [ ] work similar, but the implementation is different.
Code:
$ type [
[ is a shell builtin
$ type [[
[[ is a shell keyword

The [ is a builtin command. In fact it is an alias of the test command. (When run as [ the last argument must be ]. Command arguments may be redirected with < and >, and that is what caused your problem. The redirection can be prevented by quoting "<" ">" or \< \>, but the standard operators are -lt and -gt. As with all command arguments, you should use "quotes" to prevent word splitting and globbing.
The [[ ]] is a compound, built into the shell interpreter. Because it is not a command, its content can be freely designed, and in fact a < and > are valid integer comparators. And the values are not subject to globbing, and word splitting happens before variable substitution (i.e. you need to quote "two words" to be seen as one value but not $word even if it's value is "two words").

SLAGTS(l)								 )								 SLAGTS(l)

NAME
SLAGTS - may be used to solve one of the systems of equations (T - lambda*I)*x = y or (T - lambda*I)'*x = y, SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SLAGTS( JOB, N, A, B, C, D, IN, Y, TOL, INFO ) INTEGER INFO, JOB, N REAL TOL INTEGER IN( * ) REAL A( * ), B( * ), C( * ), D( * ), Y( * ) PURPOSE
SLAGTS may be used to solve one of the systems of equations (T - lambda*I)*x = y or (T - lambda*I)'*x = y, where T is an n by n tridiagonal matrix, for x, following the factorization of (T - lambda*I) as (T - lambda*I) = P*L*U , by routine SLAGTF. The choice of equation to be solved is controlled by the argument JOB, and in each case there is an option to perturb zero or very small diagonal elements of U, this option being intended for use in applications such as inverse iteration. ARGUMENTS
JOB (input) INTEGER Specifies the job to be performed by SLAGTS as follows: = 1: The equations (T - lambda*I)x = y are to be solved, but diagonal elements of U are not to be perturbed. = -1: The equa- tions (T - lambda*I)x = y are to be solved and, if overflow would otherwise occur, the diagonal elements of U are to be per- turbed. See argument TOL below. = 2: The equations (T - lambda*I)'x = y are to be solved, but diagonal elements of U are not to be perturbed. = -2: The equations (T - lambda*I)'x = y are to be solved and, if overflow would otherwise occur, the diagonal elements of U are to be perturbed. See argument TOL below. N (input) INTEGER The order of the matrix T. A (input) REAL array, dimension (N) On entry, A must contain the diagonal elements of U as returned from SLAGTF. B (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1) On entry, B must contain the first super-diagonal elements of U as returned from SLAGTF. C (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1) On entry, C must contain the sub-diagonal elements of L as returned from SLAGTF. D (input) REAL array, dimension (N-2) On entry, D must contain the second super-diagonal elements of U as returned from SLAGTF. IN (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N) On entry, IN must contain details of the matrix P as returned from SLAGTF. Y (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N) On entry, the right hand side vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the solution vector x. TOL (input/output) REAL On entry, with JOB .lt. 0, TOL should be the minimum perturbation to be made to very small diagonal elements of U. TOL should normally be chosen as about eps*norm(U), where eps is the relative machine precision, but if TOL is supplied as non-positive, then it is reset to eps*max( abs( u(i,j) ) ). If JOB .gt. 0 then TOL is not referenced. On exit, TOL is changed as described above, only if TOL is non-positive on entry. Otherwise TOL is unchanged. INFO (output) INTEGER = 0 : successful exit element of the solution vector x. This can only occur when JOB is supplied as positive and either means that a diagonal element of U is very small, or that the elements of the right-hand side vector y are very large.
