My wife and I have for a long time had an inside joke: "I can't
understand
it. It must be Art." I never thought I'd apply it to a shell
script...
Please read the charter [?] for this group!
I believe programming is an art... and if you program in sh, then
that can be an art too.
ps: re: test "" && {} || {}
I am not worried about the second command failing.
