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 ]
