no, [ ! -f "$src" ] is false even if the file $src does not exist, but
$src.exe does.
Example:
$ ls /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd*
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe
$ if [ ! -f /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd ]; then echo does not exist;
fi
[nothing]
$ if [ -f /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd ]; then echo does exist; fi
does exists
so we can't check that way.
