Unix one liner? It this possible? 2

[jouell]

Hi,

I'd like to do something like this:

[[ -e $GREP ]] || echo $GREP does not exist ; exit 1

or


[[ -e $GREP ]] || echo $GREP does not exist && exit 1



But it seems the script exits regardless. How can I exit a script and send a warning to the user on the same line?


Thanks!
-John
