if [ $should_ignore ] ; then BLOCK ; fi 

is consistently accepting 0 as true.

WTF? FFS! FTW!

I do not understand if this is behavior I should accept or count as a bug.

## INSIDE A FOR LOOP

        echo $run_name
        echo $should_ignore
        if [ $should_ignore ]       # Generally 'MyRun'
            then
            echo $run_name
            unaligned_status=99
            unaligned="$run_name is to be ignored due to MyRun"
        fi

        if [ -e $RTAComplete_fn ]
            then
            rrr=`ls -l $RTAComplete_fn | cut -f 6-8 -d ' '`
            rta="$run_name is RTA/Copy complete ($RTAComplete_fn) as of $rrr"
            unaligned_status=1
