check absence of file with "passes shell script"

[Graf_Wetter]

Hi,

I want a rule to be executed only if a file in a specific folder and its subfolders (not the matched folder) does not exist.
In Terminal, i can check it with:
find /path/to/file/ -name filename.pdf

How can this command be put in a "passes shell script"- script ?

Thanks for any help.

Code: Select all

if [ ! -f "/path/to/file" ]; then exit 0; else exit 1; fi

a_freyer,
thanks!
The script works great with some modifications for my needs.
That was very helpful, as always …
