Try the following syntax. Note the spaces between the []'s
cont() {
/root/scripts/continue
if [ "$?" == 1 ] ;
then
echo "Continuing process.";
else
exit 1;
fi
}
Also, (I'm being anal here) but in your example, it looks as though your
trying to test the exit status '$?' from /root/scripts/continue. Unless your
overiding this value, the exit status return value is an integer, not a
string. With this in mind, consider testing for an integer (-eq), not a
string (==). Example:
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ;
See "man bash" under the "CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS" and "EXIT STATUS"
sections.
