Sinardy - Make sure you are using Korn shell. Make the first line #! /bin/ksh. A good reference is the O'Reilly book UNIX in a Nutshell. It is cheap and a thorough reference (not a tutorial). For example, on the -a and
-D options that Kevin mentions, there are about a page of different file
conditions that you can check for. If you have access to usenet newsgroups, there are some very active lists for the different flavors of UNIX. Dennis Williams

Apologies for the last reply....the [ -d $FILENAME ] should be [ -a $FILENAME ]. Hope that helps,
Cheers,

Hi all,

Can someone recommend good unix mailing list

by the way how to check the existence of a file ?

My logic :

        if (findThisFile(/tmp/myfile.txt) == 0)
                echo "the file is exists"
        else
                echo "file not found"
        endif

what is the unix function for findThisFile()

Thank you,

Sinardy
