when you verify exists a file, use param -f . Example

if [ -f $logFile ]; then

<code true>

else

<code false>

fi

or this other example

if [ ! -f $logFile ]; then

<code false condition>

else

<code true condition>

fi


but I don't know what yo want to do.


when I try to run the script from bash it works perfectly, but when it runs

best regards.
