Help with the /etc/init.d/network

["A. Scott White" <scottw@coderite.com>]

Can anyone tell me exactly what this line accomplishes:

[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1

I'm pretty sure it adds the default gateway setting for TCP/IP, but I don't
understand what it means, exactly. Could you explain:
1. The script syntax
2. the commands involved

I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
