    <p>I am in the process of writing an install script for a program in bash. The first part of the install detects whether the program is already installed or not. This is detected by the presence of a file in a specified directory. That part works fine. However, I want the user to be able to upgrade to the new version if the old version exists. I thought I had the code right, but it doesn't quite work. There is a file in /var/www/html/gvsms called .version that simply has the version of the program in the file. I want to compare that number to the number of the installer. I'm not sure how, though, inside an if statement. Can there be multiple Ifs inside an If? This is what I have so far:</p> <pre><code>$installerver=1.1 $installedver=${cat /var/www/html/gvsms/.version} echo "Installation beginning...." echo " " echo " " echo -n "Checking to see if GVoice SMS Notification System was previously installed..." if [ -a /var/www/html/gvsms/index.php ]; then echo "Yes." echo "" echo "I have detected a previous installation of GVoice SMS Notification System." if [ $installerver == $installedver ]; then echo "The GVoice SMS Notification System is currently installed and is the same version as this installer. If you were trying to upgrade, please check the installer you downloaded and try again." exit fi elif [ $installedver == "0.5" || $installedver == "1.0"]; then while [[ "$yn" != "Yes" &amp;&amp; "$yn" != "Y" &amp;&amp; "$yn" != "y" &amp;&amp; "$yn" != "yes" ]]; do echo "Would you like to upgrade? Yes or no." read -r upgrade echo "$upgrade upgrade?" echo "Is this correct? (Yes or No)" read yn done echo "Upgrade proceeding..." fi echo "No." echo "I have not detected a previous installation of GVoice SMS Notification System." read -p "To proceed with installation at your own risk, press Enter. Otherwise Ctrl-C." </code></pre> <p>Right now the program errors out with:</p> <pre><code>./test.x: line 1: =1.1: command not found ./test.x: line 2: ${cat /var/www/html/gvsms/.version}: bad substitution </code></pre> <p>The way the program should work is that if the file is detected, installed version is not (or less than) the same as the installer, and the user says yes to upgrade, the upgrade commands should run. If the user says no to upgrade, then exit the script.</p> <p>If the program is installed and is the same version as the installer, display error message and exit.</p> <p>If the program is not already installed, skip reconfirm installation and proceed with normal install.</p> <p>Is this possible? Thanks!</p>

    1. COI think you forgot to put the [hashbang](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29) line in your script. Try inserting `!#/bin/bash` on the first line.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
