Check directory exist
Hello

thanks for your reply,

My Problem now is that all my paths are in a virtual list.

I need just the command like :

Code:
echo "$params"|while read param
do
{
echo $params
#if [ -d "/var/mqm/qmgr/"$params"ssl/" ]; then
#       echo "The directory exists"
#else
#       echo "Does not exist"
#fi
}
done


But it make more loop that name in the list

thanks
