Does anybody see why this always equates to FALSE? I have tried this
equation many different ways and I can't seem to find the correct syntax. I
am using the single quotes to protect the brackets on the right hand side.
The only thing I can guess is that the variable on the left is getting
resolved first; then when it scans the line again it is seeing the brackets
on the left hand side. If this is correct then how does one solve that
problem?
:/tmp> echo $tapestat
Status: [0]
:/tmp> if [ $tapestat = 'Status: [0]' ]
> then echo true
> else echo false
> fi
false
:/tmp>

Tony,
Below is a kshell function that detects whether a tape is mounted or not.
I forget how to eject a tape on HP-UX or
even if it is possible:
detect_dat_tape()
{
x=0
while [ $x != 1 ]
do
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "I did not find a tape. Please insert a tape"
sleep 10
else
echo "A tape has been found. Thanks. "
x=1
fi
done
}
Hope this helps.
