Hi there!

I guess You mean that You want to run it, but only perform a specific operation if the file exists?
You can try this, modify it to Your needs,

Code:
retries=0
while true ; do
    if [ -f XYZ ]; then
        echo found file, performing operation and exiting
        #more operations here
        break
    fi
    retries=$((retries+1))
    [ $retries -eq 7 ] && break
    echo waiting for file...
    sleep 5
    echo retries=$retries
done
