Linux check if a directory exists

 

To check if a directory exist or not use following script:

#!/bin/bash
FILE_NAME=$1

if [ -f $FILE ];
then
   echo "File $FILE_NAME exists" 
else 
   echo "File $FILE_NAME does not exists" 
fi

You can also use following one liner to do same validation:

$ [ -d /usr/share ] && echo "Directory exists" || echo "Directory does not exists"
