Why will running tokesn.ksh five times do anything that running it one time will not do? What does tokesn.ksh do?

If the size of the file named by the operand you pass to your script when you invoke it has size zero the first time through your loop, why are you testing it four more times without doing anything that might make any changes to that file?

I am trying to hit the link that generated dummy.txt and stored in test folder.
I will hit it . If dummy.txt is not generated , i will retry to hit the links three more times to see if the file has generated.
Even after that it has not generated, i want to send email that files not generated.
So that email part i am not able to use since if a file is not found even after three attermpts, it is sending me mails three time. i want it only one email.
Also i want to put instead of -s , something link if files size less than 200byte then hit link thrice else go ahead
