Question

I have a test script the needs to read the variable ‘LAB’ and e-mail the correct company.
I’ve looked but can’t find anything that has worked yet.

Any thoughts?

#!
#
LAB=3
#
if [ "$LAB" = "$1" ];then
    echo "Got Zumbrota" && ./mailZ 
fi
#
if [ "$LAB" = "$2" ];then
    echo "Got Barron" && ./mailB 
fi
#
if [ "$LAB" = "$3" ];then
    echo "Got Stearns" && ./mailS
fi

If this a bash script, start your file with

#!/bin/bash

and use -eq for integer comparison and since LAB is an integer in your script

if [ $LAB -eq $1 ]
