Hej August!

 A> H:\>busybox bash

Given the version of busybox, that is either an aliased ash or hush shell.  My
guess is ash but the busybox config should tell the tale.

 A> How does the double [, or [[ work?

They are currently the same although it seems to me at some time in the past
there was a difference not unlike single quotes and double (strong) quotes.

  echo '$PATH'
$PATH

  echo "$PATH"
/usr/bin:/bin

Apparently google bash scripts default to [[ for all their tests.  I just
don't recall the reason but I am obviously getting too old for this business. 
:::sigh:::

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
