-s filename

          True if filename exists and  has  a  size  greater
          than zero.

In a script:

if [ -s filename ]
then
(do whatever you want if the file is non-empty) fi

You can also check for the existence of the file using

-f filename

I need to check the size of a file from within a batch script to see if it is empty. Is there any way to do this?
