this script works fine from terminal but from php (exec_shell) i have this message ('permission denied'), when i remove 'if then fi' the script work fine,
Correct is
The > 0 is a redirection to a file "0"! Bash handles it differently unless called with --posix.
Not even with --posix . It is not part of the POSIX specification.
Even so, most shells do support string comparison when the > or < is escaped, through their shell builtin
This is not supported by the external test command, however, so in Bourne shell this will not work
--
But what is required here is a numerical comparison which requires the -gt operator, as stated before..
