logical if condition
hi
i have the following scenario
#!/bin/sh

a=21.0
b=33.0
c=16.0
cmd=20
cmd1=30

if [ [$a -gt $cmd ] && [$b -gt $cmd1] ]
then
echo "problem....."
exit 1
else
echo "ok"
exit 0
fi

the issue here is the above condition is never TRUE coz a>cmd && b >cmd1
Any ideas ?

Try:
#!/bin/sh

Code:
a=21.0
b=33.0
c=16.0
cmd=20
cmd1=30

if [ $a -gt $cmd -a $b -gt $cmd1 ] 
then 
   echo "problem....."
   exit 1 
else
   echo "ok"
   exit 0
fi

The following works:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

typeset -i a=21.0
typeset -i b=33.0
typeset -i c=16.0
typeset -i cmd=20
typeset -i cmd1=30

if [ $a -gt $cmd -a $b -gt $cmd1 ]
then
  echo "problem....."
  exit 1
else
  echo "ok"
  exit 0
fi
