Roy,
I would stick with the test commands you are using. One point, the -s tests
two condition: does the file exist AND is it > 0 bytes, therefore you will
have to break up you test into 2 parts
test -a does the file exist, and then
test -s

finally...the question...
can a unix scripting guru assist me in the code that checks if a file is a
zero
byte file?
thanks in advance...Roy
below is the current portion of the script that checks for errors:
put file1 'file1'
get 'file1' check_file
bye
!EOF
# First if statement will check to see if the check file exists
if test ! -s "check_file"
then
# if the file does not exist, send the failed message and exit the program
echo Failed to pull a check file back from the FTP
echodo /usr/ucb/mail -s ftp_of_file1.FAILED `cat $EMAIL/fail.list` <
$EMAIL/fail.msg
