Description Stefan 2000-12-28 09:06:30 EST

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 11:00:09 EST

It's an error in the script. bash1 was slightly more lenient.
