command1 || command2 - execute command2 if command1 execution failed (exit code != 0)
command1 & - execute command as a background task
wait - wait until triggered background tasks are done
if [ "$var" -eq 1 ]
Always use spaces between brackets and the condition
Always quote a tested variable
-eq - equal to if [ "$a" -eq "$b" ]
-ne - not equal to if [ "$a" -ne "$b" ]
-gt - greater than if [ "$a" -gt "$b" ]
-ge - greater than or equal to if [ "$a" -ge "$b" ]
-lt - less than if [ "$a" -lt "$b" ]
-le - less than or equal to if [ "$a" -le "$b" ]
<, <=, >, >= - within double parentheses (("$a" < "$b"))
-n - string is not null if [ -n "$string" ]
-z - string is null, that is, has zero length if [ -z "$string" ]
= or == - equal to, if [ "$a" = "$b" ]
!= - not equal to, if [ "$a" != "$b" ]
The == comparison operator behaves differently within a double-brackets test than within single brackets
[[ $a == z* ]] - true if $a starts with an "z" (pattern matching)
[[ $a == "z*" ]] or [ "$a" == "z*" ] - true if $a is equal to z* (literal matching)
[ $a == z* ] - file globbing and word splitting take place
< - less than, in ASCII alphabetical order, if [[ "$a" < "$b" ]], if [ "$a" < "$b" ]
> - greater than, in ASCII alphabetical order, if [[ "$a" > "$b" ]], if [ "$a" > "$b" ]
