if options in ksh

V. Nyga — Wed, 10 May 2006 04:55:58 GMT

Hi all,

I have to check in a ksh script if a (users) directory ($HOME/v4_sap) exists.
In c-shell it's like:

'if ( -d $SAPDIR ) then'

What's in k-shell for $HOME/v4_sap?

Thanks in advance
Volkmar

Hi Volkmar,

What about
SAPDIR=$HOME/v4_sap
if [ -d $SAPDIR ]
then

Hi Vo,

something like below example.

if [ ! -d $SAPDIR ]
then
echo "Destination directory : $SAPDIR does not exist, unable to continue !" | tee -a $histlog
exit 1
fi

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

So I missed the '[' ']' in ksh.

Thanks Arun and Warren!
Always searched the options in itrc, but found nothing.

Volkmar,
You are nearly there, just need square brackets.

if [ -d $HOME/v4_sap ]
then
echo "found"
else
echo "Not found"
fi
