[nflug] bash scripting question

[Darin Perusich]

When testing conditions in bash you might may want to use the extended 
test command [[...]] which allow the use of conditional operators like 
&&, ||, <, and >.

Additionally when you "exit", setting an exit status other then the 
default of 1 might prove useful if this script was called from another. 
You could test the exit value, $? and depending on the value do 
something else.
