Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that checks the contents of a file and if it's there
skip it.

Here is my test script:
#!/bin/sh

if [ 0 ==  grep local /etc/hosts ]; then
   echo "Been there.  Done that."
else
   echo "It's ok to do it now."
fi
===============================
It doesn't like the 'if' line but I haven't found an example that I can use.  Grep
returns 0 if the search phrase is found.  Quotes, single or double doesn't change
it, neither does parens or brackets.

Thanks
