Check file and if it doesnt exist , exit script

Hi,

Another problem, here is my code

Code:
#!/bin/sh

dir='/opt/apps/script/CSV'
datadir='/opt/apps/script/data'

while : ; do
ls -1rt $dir/*.csv > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ;then
cp $datadir/weekly.txt $dir/weekly.csv
else
exit 0
fi
done

before it executes the while do, I would like it to check for a file named daily.txt in /opt/apps/script/data/

check /opt/apps/script/data/daily.txt first, if it exists, proceed, else exit code.something like this I guess?

Code:
#!/bin/sh

dir='/opt/apps/script/CSV'
datadir='/opt/apps/script/data'

-> Check here first, if found, proceed, else exit

while : ; do
ls -1rt $dir/*.csv > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ;then
cp $datadir/weekly.txt $dir/weekly.csv
else
exit 0
fi
done

Thanks buddies.Regards Smilie

gimptool is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file. gimptool can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths Gimp was compiled with. This is especially useful in Makefiles. On Unix, gimptool is a script. On Windows, it is a program. They should be more or less compatible. This manual page describes the Unix script version. OPTIONS
gimptool accepts the following options: --version Print the currently installed version of Gimp on the standard output. --help Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options. --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands. --silent Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as --quiet. -n Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing. --just-print Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --dry-run Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --recon Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --bindir Outputs the bindir used to install the Gimp. --sbindir Outputs the sbindir used to install the Gimp. --libexecdir Outputs the libexecdir used to install the Gimp. --datadir Outputs the datadir used to install the Gimp. --sysconfdir Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the Gimp. --sharedstatedir Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the Gimp. --localstatedir Outputs the localstatedir used to install the Gimp. --libdir Outputs the libdir used to install the Gimp. --infodir Outputs the infodir used to install the Gimp. --mandir Outputs the mandir used to install the Gimp. --includedir Outputs the includedir used to install the Gimp. --gimpdatadir Outputs the actual directory where the Gimp data files were installed. --gimpplugindir Outputs the actual directory where the Gimp plugins were installed. --build plug-in.c Compile and link plug-in.c into a Gimp plug-in. --build-strip plug-in.c Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a Gimp plug-in. --install plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-strip plug-in.c Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-script script.scm Install script.scm into the user's personal Gimp script directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/scripts) --install-admin-script script.scm Install script.scm into the system-wide Gimp script directory (/usr/share/gimp/1.2/scripts) --uninstall-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --uninstall-admin-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --uninstall-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the user's personal Gimp script directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/scripts) --uninstall-admin-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the system-wide Gimp script directory (/usr/share/gimp/1.2/scripts) --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a Gimp plug-in. --libs-noui Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a Gimp plug-in, for plugins that do not require the GTK libs. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a Gimp plug-in. --clags-noui Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a Gimp plug-in for plugins that do not require the GTK libs. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that Gimp was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options.
