| 1 | I'm confused about why they use [ expression1 ] || [ expression2 ] |
| 2 | rather than [ expression1 -o expression2 ] in system scripts like |
| 3 | /etc/profile. It doesn't do the same thing, and I suppose the results |
| 4 | are usually the same. However, my read of the script is that what they |
| 5 | really want is a logical OR which is what the -o gives you. |
