Hi,

for a moment, my fingers were faster than my brain.

Translation via brain:

The "test" expression used is
  "`hostname`" = bob

There are operators like "-o" for logical "or":

  "`hostname`" = bob -o "`hostname`" = mary -o "`hostname`" = sam

I.e. "test" will return 0 if one of the "=" expressions evaluates
to true.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
