This is a test with four arguments, thus the rules are: • If $1 is ’!’, negate the three-argument test of $2, $3, and $4. • If $1 is ’(’ and $4 is ’)’, perform the two-argument test of $2 and $3. • Otherwise, the results are unspecified. Since "$test" -a "$test1" is false, the test comes out as true. Using test with a combination of more than one primary operator is not recommended. > I think ,this is a bug in bash.and i test it on many freebsd release 4.11, > 6.1,6.2 with default bash version,this is same.
