Hi Sami

Try something like this in korn shell, i have typed it in from memory so please check the syntax...:-)

#!/bin/ksh
location="/tmp"
filename="YOURFILENAME"
done=false
while [[ $done = false ]]; do

        if [[ ! -a $filename ]]; then
                echo "do something"
                cp $filename $location
                done=true
        fi

done

kind regards

Pete
