CPU & Memory Shell check the value for input1 and input2
Hi,

I need to check the value for input 1 and input 2. If input1 and input2 is not empty, then application will continue.

I tried the following, but it doesn't work.
Code:
  if [ -z input1 && -z input2]; then
     continue
  else
     exit
  fi

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Your logic is negated. Try something like this:

Code:
if [ -z "${input1}" -o -z "${input2}" ]; then
   exit 1
fi

# do other stuff, i.e "continue"

Here, if input1 _or_ input2 are empty, the script will exit.

Cheers,
ZB

then
