Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to check more than 1 file specified files exists? Post 302963920 by Aia on Thursday 7th of January 2016 11:59:44 PM

The use of -a and -o for testing is deprecated, and discouraged for divers reasons.

If your shell supports it, use:
Code:
[[ -e /$path/Output.log && -e /$path/Output.tmp ]]

Code:
[[ -e /$path/Output.log || -e /$path/Output.tmp ]]

If your shell does not support the double [[, use single [ in this manner:
Code:
[ -e /$path/Output.log ] && [ -e /$path/Output.tmp ]

Code:
[ -e /$path/Output.log ] || [ -e /$path/Output.tmp ]

NAME
rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS SYNOPSIS
rcsfreeze [name] DESCRIPTION
rcsfreeze assigns a symbolic revision number to a set of RCS files that form a valid configuration. The idea is to run rcsfreeze each time a new version is checked in. A unique symbolic name (C_number, where number is increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to the most recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk. An optional name argument to rcsfreeze gives a symbolic name to the configuration. The unique identifier is still generated and is listed in the log file but it will not appear as part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS files. A log message is requested from the user for future reference. The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time. All changed files must be checked in already. Run rcsclean(1) first and see whether any sources remain in the current directory. RESTRICTIONS
rcsfreeze does not check whether any sources are checked out and modified. Although both source file names and RCS file names are accepted, they are not paired as usual with RCS commands. Error checking is rudimentary. rcsfreeze is just an optional example shell script, and should not be taken too seriously. See CVS for a more complete solution. FILES
version number log messages, most recent first IDENTIFICATION
