<para>There is a command installed in this package which is named test. It is
|
|
often used in shell scripts to evaluate conditions, but is more often
|
|
encountered in the form of <command>[ condition ]</command>. These brackets
|
|
are built into the bash interpreter, but the FHS dictates that there should be a
|
|
<filename>[</filename> binary. We create that in this way, while still in the
|
|
<filename>/usr/bin</filename> directory:</para>
