Binary operator expected












0















I have a simple problem with binary operator but I can't resolve it. Can anyone help me why this shell script not work:



set -o nounset -o pipefail -o errexit
if [ -e /root/mom/*.php ]; then
find /root/mom/*.php -exec gpg --clearsign {} ;
else
echo "Hello world"
fi

  • You probably have multiple files that match that pattern. test doesn't know what to do with them besides the first, which is used as the argument to -e. Then you'll have a similar problem with find...

  • I would like to say if in the Folder /root/mom any files are with *.php than he should make an clear sign with all the *.php files

If you want to do something for all php files in a directory, just use find:



find /root/mom -name "*.php" -exec gpg --clearsign {} ;


Note that it takes a list of directories to search in, not a list of plain files. There's no need to try to see if files exist before using it; it's not an error if they don't.
