Thank you guys, all of you have given very relevent and precise answers to my query.
although i am a J2EE app developer, and some how i am into UNIX now and that was first shell script, so i had lot of doubts, and u guys cleared it now.

joeyg,Image
reason being i was doing ls -ld directory_name is, if there is a directory then it gives exit staus 0 and if not it gives 1, based on this value i was creating a directory.
but
era, is write pipeline is treated as command by shell and if it is feeded to "if" statement it always gives exit 0.
thanks era.Image

NAME
tv_grab_na_icons - Grab channel icon images or links from zap2it.com SYNOPSIS
tv_grab_na_icons [--debug] [--links] [--share dir] tv_grab_na_icons --help tv_grab_na_icons --version DESCRIPTIONS
This script goes to the zap2it web site and downloads icon links or images to the share/icons directory. It was designed to allow icons to be added by tv_grab_na_dd, but there is no reason it can't be used for other purposes. To minimize the load on zap2it.com, downloaded icons are recommended. Links are available for those applications that need it. Also to reduce the load on zap2it.com, this script should be run sparingly. There is really no need to run it frequently, new networks or icons don't show up that often. To emphasize that point, there is no --configure mode, the questions need to be answered each run. OPTIONS
--links Store imge URLs in *.url files instead of downloading images. --share SHAREDIR Icons are stored in SHAREDIR/icons. The share directory is set at install time, but there may be times when it needs to be specified. (for example: no write access to the default share directory) --debug Turns on debugging mode. The grabber will be more verbose, and saves some extra debugging data with the icons. --version Show the version of the grabber. --help Print a help message and exit. SEE ALSO
