Unofficial PlayOnLinux Wiki

Without conditional statements, your script will only follow a fixed process. Intereacting with the user would be almost of no use. Let's see how we can input them!

Introduction[]

We have used a conditional statement before (in all scripts, actually):

if [ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ]
then
    exit 0
fi

If the condition is true, the code between then and fi will be executed.

Syntax[]

The condition is put in square brackets. The code to be executed if the condition is true is put between then and fi.

Note: Do not run this code.

if [ condition ]
then
code
fi
