Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi there.

Im not very good on shell yet.

This line, will print me YES or NO in console. Its the HTML code returned from the website, simply YES or NO

curl -L "http://www.thewebsite.net/auth/log.jsp?user=$user&sessionId=$sid&serverId=$hash"

How could i save this into a variable, so i could try something like this:

if [ $response eq "YES" ]
    exit 1
fi
exit 0

I would apreciate any help. Thanx alot.

response=`curl -L "http://www.thewebsite.net/auth/log.jsp?user=$user&sessionId=$sid&serverId=$hash"`

And use double quotes around variables in the test and the right syntax for string comparison and if statement :

if [ "$response" = YES ]; then
...
fi
