Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Command script for checking a file existence Post 303033771 by Corona688 on Thursday 11th of April 2019 01:14:08 PM

Code:
[ -e /path/to/file ] && echo "File exists" | sendmail "abc@abc.com"

If you don't have a sendmail installed already, you'll need to install and configure something like ssmtp or postfix to get one. ssmtp is a "stub" mail server that just forwards email to a real mail server, postfix is a full-fledged mail server in its own right.
