Hi everyone,
Easy one for ya. How is the best way to have a script verify that something exists (like a directory, etc) before executing a set of commands? Thanks

Hi Bobby,
If it is a thing like link, file, directory, then you can test it with '-a'. If you want to be more specific like if the thing is a symbolic link (-h), or a directory (-d), use that specific option. 'man ksh'.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
myfunction()
{
your_commands
}
if [ -a /somedirectory ]
then
myfunction
else
echo "/somedirectory is missing"
fi

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try
