Description Stefan 2000-12-28 14:06:30 UTC 
Can't do condition statements like the following anymore :
[ $? -eq 0 ] && { echo "Great stuff" }
This used to work in bash but now bash2 requires something like :
[ $? -eq 0 ] && { echo "Great stuff"; }

This caused half the scripts on my machine not to work
anymore after I upgraded to Redhat 7 final, because there
is now only bash2.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-12-28 16:00:09 UTC 
It's an error in the script. bash1 was slightly more lenient.
