Thanks for the feedback.
I was attempting to do something like that originally but was hitting
problems related to the expansion which I'm still tracking down:
WRONG:
$ set var
$ test "x${var}" = "x" && echo undefined
undefined
$ set var 1
$ test "x${var}" = "x" && echo undefined
$ set var "1; 2; 3"
$ test "x${var}" = "x" && echo undefined
>> undefined
It DOES seem to work a lot better with != as you mentioned above
though...
RIGHT:
$ set var
$ test "x${var}" != "x" && echo defined
$ set var 1
$ test "x${var}" != "x" && echo defined
defined
$ set var "1; 2; 3"
$ test "x${var}" != "x" && echo defined
defined
