Here come some command to reproduce the problem. Wed Apr 21 12:36:00 556 ls -al; if [ -e "load_evu.ctl." ] ;then echo "load_evu.ctl." exists;fi; insgesamt 1 drwxr-xr-x+ 2 F.Braunb Domänen- 0 21. Apr 12:28 . drwxr-xr--+ 12 F.Braunb ???????? 0 21. Apr 12:19 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 F.Braunb Domänen- 285 21. Apr 12:35 load_evu.ctl load_evu.ctl. exists When I go on in the script and working with a file which does not exist I run in trouble. Any idea how to fix it that test says the file exists?
