Multiple condition in "IF"

[nithink]

Hi, I'm using Bourne shell and i want to check multiple condition in an if statement using 'OR'. I need to check 2 directories for a particular file. If not found I've to do send mail.

if [ ! -f [ /home/dir_1/$filename -o /home/dir_2/$filename ] ]
then
mail xyz
fi

It didnt give any syntax error but didnt work as desired. Can anyone pls let me know the correct syntax.

Thanks

Hi:


This seems to work on my Solaris 7 box:

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -f dir_1/f -o ! -f dir_2/f ]
then
echo "no f file"
fi

Regards,


Ed
