Hi all.
I'm having trouble with an if statement in a bash script I'm
writing. What I want to do, is to check if a file doesn't have read
permission. What I'm doing is:
if !([ -r filename])
However, bash says that the command [-r is not found on line
number. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and show me
how to do what I want to do properly? Thanks in advance.
Greg
