Be careful about using numeric values for true. Please read: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/classes/ksh/cond-tests.html Feb 11, 2005 - ... test can be either the test command, or its alias, [ , or the /ksh//bash built-in [[ . ... Zero is taken to be "/True/", while any non-zero /value/ is "False". So, it depends on your shell ???
