Java perl ftp check file exists
I have a perl script that ftp's to an NT server, checks if the file is growing, gets the file, does some more size checking after the get on the unix box. My question, is there a good way to check if the file exists on the NT when I know the exact file to check for? I thought about doing an "ls file.dat" and passing the return code to a variable and then checking the varible, but that seems kinda messay. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

socklog-check

socklog-check(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  socklog-check(8)

NAME

       socklog-check - checks for the availability of a socklog(8) service.

SYNOPSIS

       socklog-check [-v] [unix [address]]

DESCRIPTION

       socklog-check attempts to connect to a socklog(8) unix service and reports whether the connection attempt succeeded or not.

       It connects to the datagram oriented unix domain socket address, and reports success through the return code.  If address is not specified,
       socklog-check attempts to connect to /dev/log.

       When running services that use the syslog facility under runit's service supervision, socklog-check should be added to the top of the  ser-
       vice's run script to ensure that no syslog messages are generated until a syslog service is up and running to process the messages, e.g.:

	#!/bin/sh
	socklog-check || exit 1
	exec service_using_syslog

OPTIONS

       -v     verbose.	Print verbose message to standard error.

EXIT CODES

       On success socklog-check returns 0.

       On error, socklog-check prints a message to standard error and exits 111.
