Problem with If statement
Hi All,
I am writing an if statement to check multiple conditions, but when I try to execute the script it is breaking at the point of if statement by showing the issue below.
Quote:
line 23: [: missing `]'
line 23: -f: command not found
Code I am using is given below.
HTML Code:
if [ "$run" -eq "1" ] -a [ [ -f /tmp/start.Lck || -f /tmp/stop.Lck ] ]
then
....
else
...
fi
I am not understanding what is the issue here.

htmlclean
HTMLCLEAN(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTMLCLEAN(1p)
NAME
htmlclean - a small script to clean up existing HTML
SYNOPSIS
htmlclean [-v] [-V] file1 [file2 file3 ...]
DESCRIPTION
This program provides a command-line interface to the HTML::Clean module, which can help you to provide more compatible, smaller HTML files
at the expense of reducing the human readability of the HTML code. In some cases you may be able to reduce the size of your HTML by up to
50%!
The HTML::Clean library provides a number of features that improve your HTML for browsing and serving:
htmlclean passes each file given on the command line to the library and writes out the new HTML according to the specified options. The
default is to create a backup file and replace the file with cleaned HTML.
Removing whitespace, Comments and other useless or redundant constructs
Insuring that font tags work across multiple operating systems
For full details see the documentations for HTML::Clean itself.
OPTIONS
"-V"
Print the version of the program.
"-v"
Verbose mode. Print out the original and final file sizes, plus the compression percent. For example:
5261 4065 22% /tmp/development-es.html
5258 4061 22% /tmp/development-fr.html
4651 3683 20% /tmp/development.html
SEE ALSO
For the library, see HTML::Clean
