c...@notas:~$ echo $variable

c...@notas:~$ variable=hello
c...@notas:~$ if [ -n $variable ]; then echo true; fi
true
c...@notas:~$ if [ -z $variable ]; then echo true; fi
c...@notas:~$ variable=
c...@notas:~$ if [ -n $variable ]; then echo true; fi
true
c...@notas:~$ if [ -z $variable ]; then echo true; fi
true
c...@notas:~$

Can anybody explain to me this behaviour? I would expect not any output in
the last command...? The variable is set to zero and there is the condition
is still true...?

thanks, Jakub
