Hello camarzan,

Following may help you in same. I have made similar kind of folder structure and checked it worked for me, please check and let me know if this helps.

Code:

cat check_file_status.ksh
value=`find -type f -name "file.cmd"`
if [[ -n "$value" ]]
then
        echo "File present in directory/sub directories." $value
else
        echo "file NOT found."
fi

Output will be as follows.

Code:

File present in directory/sub directories. ./MainFolder/Sub-folder_2.2/file.cmd

As in this case file is present so it is showing same only, you can use any script to execute in place of echo statement in the script.
EDIT: Also want to add my present working directory was /tmp where MainFolder is present so only it is showing in output as ./MainFolder/Sub-folder_2.2/file.cmd.

Thanks,
R. Singh

rfmkdir

RFMKDIR(1)							Rfio User Commands							RFMKDIR(1)

NAME

       rfmkdir - make remote directories

SYNOPSIS

       rfmkdir [ -m mode ] [ -p ] directory...

DESCRIPTION

       rfmkdir	provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by
       umask(1)).  The directory argument is either a remote directory name of the form:

	      hostname:path

       or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory requires write permission  in  the  parent
       directory.

OPTIONS

       The following options apply to rfmkdir:

       -m mode
	      This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories.	Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).

       -p     With this option, rfmkdir creates dirname by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.

SEE ALSO

       mkdir(1), umask(1), mkdir(2), rfiod(1)
