Just to add to what Scottn said, the default shell on Solaris is the Bourne shell.

Hello
I was wondering if this has something to do with the -eq and -ne operators?

-eq is equal to
Code:
 
if [ "$a" -eq "$b" ]

-ne
is not equal to
Code:
 
if [ "$a" -ne "$b" ]

Hello.

Not really.

Code:
arg1 OP arg2
              OP  is one of -eq, -ne, -lt, -le, -gt, or -ge.  These arithmetic binary operators return true if arg1 is
              equal to, not equal to, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, or  greater  than  or  equal  to
              arg2, respectively.  Arg1 and arg2 may be positive or negative integers.

Besides, I think we already identified the problem.
