Wasted nearly two hours trying to figure out why some simple bash script of mine wasn't working.
#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
echo HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME
if [ "$HOSTNAME" == "kiffins-laptop" ]; then echo "This is Kiffin's laptop"
elif [ "$HOSTNAME" == "georges-laptop" ]; then echo "This is George's laptop"
else
echo 'Unknown hostname (exit)'
exit 1
fi
echo "Success"
exit 0
Looks perfectly valid to me, so how come when I run the damned script I get the following error messages?
HOSTNAME=laptop [: 11: laptop: unexpected operator [: 11: laptop: unexpected operator Unknown hostname (exit)
Need a hint?
