Hello list, Code: $ [ ! -e /bin/bash ] && echo "Doesn't exist"; [ -e /bin/bash ] && echo "Exists"
Output: Exists Code: $ [ ! -a /bin/bash ] && echo "Doesn't exist"; [ -a /bin/bash ] && echo "Exists" Output: Doesn't exist Exists It seems there's a difference between -a and -e, though they are (as far as I can see) documented to do the same thing. Anybody knows what's going on? May it be confused by the test functionality to default to "non-empty string" and a AND (-a)? Jan
