I don't know regex, but I know, If you do an && between two commands, the second is executed if the first is ok. This means if Database exists, set the variable to the other Path. You can do: [ -z "$DATABASE" ] || DATABASE="/var/lib/aide/aide.db" or [ -z ! "$DATABASE" ] && DATABASE="/var/lib/aide/aide.db" I think the first would be better, but I`m drunken. - -- MfG usw.
