Try this...

Bitwise or operation-

Code:
Bit_or () {
a=0
b=0
if [[ `expr "$a" + "$b"` > 0 ]]
then
echo "1";
else
echo "0";
fi
}

Bitwise and operation-

Code:
Bit_and () {
a=1
b=1
if [[ `expr "$a" \* "$b"` > 0 ]]
then
echo "1";
else
echo "0";
fi
}

|| is a logical-OR, not a bitwise-OR (in both sh and C).

Plain sh does not have bitwise operators.

BASH does, though.

Code:
$ echo $((1|2|4|8|16|32|64|128))

255

$ echo $((0^0))

0

$ echo $((0^1))

1

$ echo $((1^0))

1

$ echo $((1^1))

0

$ echo ((1<<4))

16

$ echo $((255 & 7))

7

$

etc.
