the syntax is different from shell to shell and language to language.
c syntax would look like:

Code:
if (x >= 100000000)
{ 
cout>>" do something ";
}

bash would look like:

Code:
if [ $somevar -ge whatever  ]
then
do something


oh yah, in bash you can also do it like:

Code:
if (( "$somevar" >= "$somethingelse" ))
then
the rest

sys_attrs_autofs(5)						File Formats Manual					       sys_attrs_autofs(5)

NAME
sys_attrs_autofs - autofs subsystem attributes DESCRIPTION
This reference page lists and describes attributes for the AutoFS (autofs) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page for an introduction to the topic of kernel subsystem attributes. Specifies the duration (in seconds) that a file system is to remain mounted when not in use. This is analogous to the automount com- mand's -tl option. Default value: 300 (seconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 100000000 Specifies the interval (in seconds) between attempts to unmount file systems that have exceeded their idle_timeout limit. This is analogous to the automount command's -tw option. Default value: 60 (seconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 100000000 Specifies the duration (in seconds) for which a mount failure is cached, preventing a retry of the mount during this time. Default value: 30 (seconds) Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 100000000 Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) a process waits for an auto-mounted file system or subtree to become available. Default value: 120 (seconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 100000000 Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) the autofsd daemon waites for an individual NFS server to respond to a mount request. Default value: 30 (seconds) Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 100000000 Specifies the size of the AutoFS hash table used to find all AutoFS directories and symlinks system-wide. The size is calculated at boot time based upon the value of max_vnodes. Default value: 32 (lists) Minimum value: 32 Maximum value: 8192 SEE ALSO
