I've been doing the same but from my .profile. Working in Switzerland, my
emulator is has long been setup to run with CP IBM-500, which has some
essential characters mapped to different code points. So I learnt some 20 years
ago that using square bracket [] and curly braces {} in shell scripts is not a
good idea. Therefore, I'm always using the test command instead of [] in shell
scripts.
So this:
UID=`id -u `
if [ "$UID" = "0" ]
then...
becomes this:
if test $(id -u) = 0
then...
And there are other characters like the pipe symbol which can cause troubles.
