#The most readable option when checking whether a file exist or not is to use the
#test command or the old '[' or the new '[[' in combination with the if statement.
#Any of the snippets below will check whether the /etc/resolv.conf file exists:

FILE=/etc/resolv.conf
if test -f "$FILE"; then
    echo "$FILE exist"
fi

# or

FILE=/etc/resolv.conf
if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
    echo "$FILE exist"
fi

# or

FILE=/etc/resolv.conf
if [[ -f "$FILE" ]]; then
    echo "$FILE exist"
fi

FILE=/etc/resolv.conf
if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
    echo "$FILE exists."
else 
    echo "$FILE does not exist."
fi
