IF Then in crontab

[czarj]

I need to know how to translate an IF/THEN statemenr that works fine in any shell into something that is understandable by the crontab. This is going to be used to run dozens of complicated scrips and cannot be hardcoded into each script.

if [ `/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -state ClusterService -sys paupcl01` == "ONLINE" ]; then
$dosomething$
fi

thanks!!!

in ksh, string comparison is just one '='

[ `opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -state ClusterService -sys paupcl01` [red]=[/red] "ONLINE" ] && dosomething
