Re: Little script help please
Our programmer, Andrew, tells me the problem is with the lines...
if [ $hessian_colour="twotone" ]; then
The "=" set's $hession_colour to twotone and returns a TRUE to say the operation
has been successful.
You need to use a "==" to compare the two values.
For String comparisons, you should really use the word "eq".
