NAME

exec-if-not-env - Execute command if certain environment variable is false

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

 % exec-if-not-env RUN somecmd --cmdopt ...

The above will run somecmd only if RUN environment variable is not defined or false (with the notion of false follows Perl, i.e undefined, '', and 0 are false).

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

  • --help, -h

EXIT CODES

99 on command-line options error.

Otherwise exit code from command is returned.

Couldn't the same thing be accomplished with shell?

Yes, you can also do something like this in bash:

 if [[ "$SOMEENV" == 1 ]]; then false; else somecmd --cmdopt ...; fi

But using this utility is simpler and more portable.
