See the man pages for your Shell for the syntax of "if" and "man test" for detail on the options. There are subtle variations between unix computers. The "-f" option is universal but you won't always find the "-e" option mentioned in post #3.

svc
SVC(1) General Commands Manual SVC(1)NAME
svc, ci, co, svclog - shell version control system
SYNOPSIS
ci [-lu] file
co [-l] [-r rev] file
svclog file
OPTIONS -l For ci, checkin, checkout again, and lock file
-l For co, checkout file and then lock the archive
-u After checking in, do not delete the file
-r Check out revision rev instead most recent revision
EXAMPLES
ci -u file # Check in file
co -l file # Check out file and lock archive
co -r 2 file # Check out version 2
DESCRIPTION
Svc is the Shell Version Control system, patterned on RCS. It maintains a sequence of versions in archive files, so that new versions can
be checked in (added to the archive), and old versions can be checked out (made available). To create an archive for file, check it in
with the -u flag. This action will prompt for a log message and then create an archive called file,S in the current directory, or in the
subdirectory SVC if it exists. The file will not be deleted, but will be made unwritable.
To update the file, check it out with the -l flag. Then modify it, and check it back in, giving a new message when prompted. After this
process has been repeated many times, the archive will contain the entire history. Any version can be checked out using the -r flag. To
get a printout of the history, use svclog.
