Lamano,
I tested it, it should work.
Give it a try and post it back here so others can benefit from it.
##################### work ###########
if test ! -f filename
then
echo File does not exit
echo Creating file...
touch filename
else
echo File exit. Do Nothing.
fi
############################## this works as well
# run the script by typing: sh script4.sh
# check: ls -alt
# cat the filename
if [ ! -s .theFile ]
then
echo Creating file...
cat << EOF > .theFile
echo This line should be in the file
EOF
fi

No errors are defined.
