[ale] A bash question

[terrorpup at gmail.com (Chuck Payne)]

Guys,

Sorry I am still a bit of NOOD on programmer and scripting. I have
several boxes but a couple aren't SUSE, so iptables in not in
/usr/sbin/iptables, I like to set up a VAR called $IPT can I do this,
it a bash script...

IPT=" if [ -e /sbin/iptables ] ; then
              /usr/sbin/iptables
              "
Or

if [ -e /sbin/iptables ] ; then
          IPT="/sbin/iptables"
else
          IPT="/usr/sbin/iptables"
fi


I am looking for best practise. Thanks.
