[TECH] BREAKING OUT OF IF-BLOCKS IN BASH
2011 March 11Today I wanted to break out of an if-block in bash.
Neither the break nor the continue works mean anything in an if-block, so what to do? Create a subprocess (if your code allows it):
if [ -n "${PS1}" ] ; then
(
[ -w / ] && exit
...
)
fi
(
[ -w / ] && exit
...
)
fi
EOF
