Check if file exists

I need to check whether a file exists and has been changed.



The file should contain a specific string. The file should also have been changed within the last ten seconds.


How do I do that?

NAME
istat - Display details of a meta-data structure (i.e. inode) SYNOPSIS
istat [-B num ] [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] [-vV] [-z zone ] [-s seconds ] image [images] inode DESCRIPTION
istat displays the uid, gid, mode, size, link number, modified , accessed, changed times, and all the disk units a structure has allocated. The options are as follows: -B num Display the addresses of num disk units. Useful when the inode is unallocated with size 0, but still has block pointers. -f fstype Specify the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used. -s seconds The time skew of the original system in seconds. For example, if the original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be -100. -i imgtype Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used. -o imgoffset The sector offset where the file system starts in the image. -b dev_sector_size The size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. If not given, the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is assumed. -v Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr -V Display version -z zone An ASCII string of the original system's time zone. For example, EST5EDT or GMT. These strings are defined by the operating system and may vary. NOTE: This has changed since TCTUTILs. image [images] One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'. inode Meta-data number to display stats on AUTHOR
