Hi, I have come across a scenario where test command resulted wrong result than expected. Please follow the below steps to simulate the scenario. 1. Define a variable to blank/null export a= 2. Test the parameter with test command on file exists test -f $a 3. Echo the result of the last executed command echo $? Result we get is "0" -success, whereas the test command (step 2) should error with parameter expected after " test -f". -- Regards, Mathi.C
