Of course, that assumes that the shell doesn't have other problems with its parsing: $ zsh -c '[ 1 -ne 0 ] && echo correct' correct $ zsh -c '/bin/[ 1 -ne 0 ] && echo correct' zsh: bad pattern: /bin/[ $ (Found by accident whilst looking into the original problem - I haven't, but probably should, report it as a bug in zsh 3.0.5).
