How to check if the file exists is described in the Internet.

Before I go off-line a last hint ;p.

spinymouse@precise:~$ [ -f /etc/fstubby ]&& echo yes
spinymouse@precise:~$ echo $?
1
spinymouse@precise:~$ [ -f /etc/fstab ]&& echo yes
yes
spinymouse@precise:~$ echo $?
0
spinymouse@precise:~$ test -f /etc/fstab&& echo yes
yes
spinymouse@precise:~$ echo $?
0
spinymouse@precise:~$ man test
spinymouse@precise:~$ [ ! -f /etc/fstubby ]&& echo yes
yes

Hth,
Ralf




All filed away....you're turning me into a CLI fiend...next thing
I'll be using MUTT :) Well.......not for a while....




Take care that "cp -R" is ok, perhaps you should use "cp -pr".

Good idea....and I also might add -u..i.e. cp -pru

Thanks
