 # NOTE: if $Name is empty, bash sees the above condition as:
-if [ -ne $USER ]
+if [ != $USER ]
 # which is invalid syntax
 # so the "safe" way to use potentially empty variables in bash is:
-if [ "$Name" -ne $USER ] ...
+if [ "$Name" != $USER ] ...
 # which, when $Name is empty, is seen by bash as:
-if [ "" -ne $USER ] ...
+if [ "" != $USER ] ...
 # which works as expected
 
 # There is also conditional execution
