Question help with ksh shell scripting
I want to run a script that checks the env to see if I'm in a test or prod environment. From the command line I enter echo $host and it returns host name and I can tell by the name if I'm in test or prod. When I run the command from a script I get "not found" What's wrong with the script?

Code:
if ['echo $host' = "xxx_xxx_test"]
then
      BASE=/home/mydir/test; export BASE
else
      BASE=/home/mydir/prod; export BASE
fi
 
echo $BASE

That's a useless use of backticks or would've been. Why use `echo $var` when you already have $var?

Code:
if [ "$host" == "xxx_xxx_test" ]
then
       ...
else
       ...
fi

It looks like you're using single quotes rather than backticks, in which case variable name and the command wouldn't be resolved.
