--=-1JKCCLFfA7J17ijwtvQ0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do an if statement in bash to see if results were returned? I want to write a bash script to run hourly that will grep my mailbox for a certain text if the results are different than the contents of another, previous output, then runn another command. Somethinng like: cat file|grep Text>/tmp/NewText.grep diff /tmp/NewText.grep /tmp/Text.grep if( diff returned anything ) ./runme mv /tmp/NewText.grep /tmp/Text.grep I just don't know what if switches are available (to use) in bash. Thank you. --=20 Bryce C CoBryce Communications --=-1JKCCLFfA7J17ijwtvQ0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA+HiZK/wbq/C6yyPcRAlPdAKCQn0iT1tPonCEbFmcLlxUi6n63LQCeImCz EL+x3yWbJ/vs/Qol24nBbg8= =fmFC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1JKCCLFfA7J17ijwtvQ0--
