Expect Script

[tobsys]

Hi

I’m running a expect script to save config files.
I want the script to check if a directory exist and if not create it.

Anyone who knows how to do that?

i usually do the following:
mkdir -p /home/mydir/whatever

The breakdown of this is that i really dont care if it already exists, i just want to make sure it exists when my command is done. The '-p' will make all necessary directories (including parents) to insure that it exists and will remain silent if they are already existing. So for example, if i dont have either 'mydir' or 'whatever' then it will create both. If i have 'mydir', but not 'whatever' then it will create only the one. If i have both, then it will remain silent and return.

Thank you very much, it works.
