I'm writing a script to download a bunch of files, and I want it to inform when a particular file doesn't exist.
r=`wget -q www.someurl.com`
if [ $r -ne 0 ]
then echo "Not there"
else echo "OK"
fi
But it gives the following error on execution:
./file: line 2: [: -ne: unary operator expected
What's wrong?
