Code:

You don't need to escape the quotes inside the $(...) command substitution expansion. That is one HUGE advantage of $(...) over `...`.
Code:
if [ ! -z "$(find . -type f -name "*xyz*")" ]

will work just fine.

condor_config_bind

condor_config_bind(1)					      General Commands Manual					     condor_config_bind(1)

Name
       condor_config_bind bind - together a set of configuration files

Synopsis
       condor_config_bind -help

       condor_config_bind-o outputfileconfigfile1configfile2[configfile3...]

Description
       condor_config_binddynamically binds two or more Condor configuration files through the use of a new configuration file. The purpose of this
       tool is to allow the user to dynamically bind a local configuration file into an already created,  and  possible  immutable,  configuration
       file. This is particularly useful when the user wants to modify a configuration but cannot actually make any changes to the global configu-
       ration file (even to change the list of local configuration files). This program does not modify the given configuration files. Rather,	it
       creates a new configuration file that specifies the given configuration files as local configuration files.

       Condor  evaluates  each	of  the configuration files in the given command-line order (left to right). A value defined in two or more of the
       configuration files results in the last one evaluated defining the value. It overrides any others. To bind a new local configuration into a
       global configuration, specify the local configuration second within the command-line ordering.

Options
       configfile1

	  First configuration file to bind.

       configfile2

	  Second configuration file to bind.

       configfile3...

	  An optional list of other configuration files to bind.

       -help

	  Display brief usage information and exit

       -o output_file

	  Specifies the file name where this program should output the binding configuration.

Exit Status
       condor_config_bindwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and non-zero on error.
