Ok, I thought this was going to be a simple thing. All I want to do is check
if a file exists. If it does then do the command, otherwise do something
else. I thought the syntax was similar to the if [ ! -d /directory ] but a
-z .... apparently not:>) Man bash yield no clue... as I thought that is
where I got the -z idea.
****************************
[root at toybox backup]# cat test.scp
#! /bin/bash
if [ -z /etc/fstab ] ; then
printf "File /etc/fstab exists" ;else
printf "File Missing"
fi
*****************************
This only prints out "File Missing" but obviously /etc/fstab does exist.
Thanks in advance,
