> > My local "checkbashisms" doesn't seem to complain at all. The [ ... ] syntax is just a shortcut for "test" and I would prefer to avoid it if possible. Could you check for me that using "test expr" wouldn't work in its place.

> No, "test expr" doesn't work. After test you can only have arguments to test, not shell expressions. It is possible of course to do:
