Hi,

I have two DS3100 and on one of them shell scripts don't execute correctly.
Here it is:

#1

Script started on Wed Jun 17 22:51:09 1998
201 stach % cat q
#!/bin/sh
[ -f TODO_Z ] && {
echo OK
}
202 stach % q
OK
203 stach % exit
204 stach % 
script done on Wed Jun 17 22:51:20 1998

#2

Script started on Wed Jun 17 22:49:15 1998

}
202 stach % q
sh: [: not found
203 stach % exit
204 stach % 
script done on Wed Jun 17 22:49:43 1998

The text file TODO_Z exist and is not empty.
On machine #1 everything is fine. On machine #2 something is obviously
wrong with executing conditionals. /bin/sh is OK however, because I observed
the same thing with a copy of sh taken from machine #1. 

What is wrong here?
