if: Execute the specified commands if the condition is false.
$ if not ${condition} (${echo Condition is true})
try on your machine
This command is using a conditional statement to check if a certain condition is not true.
The syntax of the command indicates that it is expecting a variable named "condition". The "if not" part signifies that it will execute the following code block only if the condition is NOT true.
Inside the parentheses, there is an "echo" command that will print the message "Condition is true" if the condition is not true. In shell scripting, the "echo" command is used to display text on the terminal.
So, essentially, if the variable "condition" is not true, it will print the message "Condition is true". If the condition is true, the code block inside the parentheses will not be executed.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
