if, fi, then, and else commands
I am trying to create a script that will search for a file and if the file is there the script will end successfull, if the file is not found then the script will sleep for 60 then check for the file again. If the file is there the job will complete successfully, if it is still not there, the script will fail. Need help!!!!!!

#! /bin/ksh
if $MYHOME/jay.txt
echo "file was found"
echo "job is successful" ; then
exit 0
if $MYHOME/jay.txt ; then
sleep 60
ls -ltr $MYHOME/jay.txt
echo "file still was not found"
echo "incident will automatically be openedl"
fi
else
if $MYHOME/jay.txt
echo "file was found"
echo "job is successful" ; then
exit 0
Smilie

dh_installemacsen

DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)

NAME

       dh_installemacsen - register an Emacs add on package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installemacsen [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [--flavor=foo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installemacsen is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by the Debian emacsen-common package into package
       build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postinst and prerm commands needed to register a package as an Emacs add on package. The commands are
       added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

FILES

       debian/package.emacsen-install
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-remove
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-startup
	   Installed into etc/emacs/site-start.d/50package.el in the package build directory. Use --priority to use a different priority than 50.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n
	   Sets the priority number of a site-start.d file. Default is 50.

       --flavor=foo
	   Sets the flavor a site-start.d file will be installed in. Default is emacs, alternatives include xemacs and emacs20.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
