Re: Re: can not set up wrapper for module: nimclient

I checked on an AIX 7.1 instance we use for test/build/dev and see that
ksh/aix has different behavior than bash built-in `[` on linux/etc.

# MOCK=false
# [ -n "$MOCK" = "true" ]
# echo $?
0
# [ -n "$MOCK" ]
# echo $?
0
# [ "$MOCK" = "true" ]
# echo $?
1

Versions I am dealing with on this instance:

# lslpp -L | grep -i ksh
  bos.rte.shell             7.1.5.16    C     F    Shells (bsh, ksh, csh)
# oslevel -r
7100-05

And is it a built-in for ksh? For mine it is:

# whence -v [
[ is a shell builtin

A quick scan of POSIX test (
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/) seems to lean towards
"unspecified results" ;)

4 arguments:
If $1 is '!', negate the three-argument test of $2, $3, and $4.
[OB XSI] [image: [Option Start]] If $1 is '(' and $4 is ')', perform the
two-argument test of $2 and $3. [image: [Option End]]  On systems that do
not support the XSI option, the results are unspecified if $1 is '(' and $4
is ')'.
Otherwise, the results are unspecified.

Have fun!
