What am I doing wrong here?? (Yes, I know it's me :)
Such a simple thing and I can't get it to work!

	# test script
	# based on /etc/rc usage of if
	if [ $1 = yes ] then
	  echo Yes
	fi

ramillia {1377} ./test yes
if: Expression Syntax
ramillia {1378}

Such an easy thing... ... I've tried every variation I can think of while
crusing through stuff in /etc

Thanks.

-Enjoy
Gary
