This is not necessarily wrong, depending on how it's done. Consider
inflamm:qe:~$ ls /nonexistent >/dev/null 2>&1
inflamm:qe:~$ [ $? =3D 0 ] && echo a
inflamm:qe:~$ [ $? =3D 0 ] && echo a
inflamm:qe:~$ ls / >/dev/null 2>&1
inflamm:qe:~$ [ $? =3D 0 ] && echo a
a
inflamm:qe:~$ [ $? =3D 0 ] && echo a
a
The last '[' is different though, in that it evaluates the combination =20
of the previous one and the echo.
Kind regards,
