How to use Bash to create a folder if it doesn't already exist?
#!/bin/bash
if [!-d /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db]; then
mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db;
fi;
This doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help?
First, in bash "[" is just a command, which expects string "]" as a last argument, so the whitespace before the closing bracket (as well as between "!" and "-d" which need to be two separate arguments too) is important:
if [ ! -d /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db ]; then
mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db;
fi
Second, since you are using -p switch to mkdir , this check is useless, because this is what does in the first place. Just write:
mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db;
and thats it.
There is actually no need to check whether it exists or not. Since you already wants to create it if it exists , just mkdir will do
mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db
Simply do:
mkdir /path/to/your/potentially/existing/folder
mkdir will throw an error if the folder already exists. To ignore the errors write:
mkdir -p /path/to/your/potentially/existing/folder
No need to do any checking or anything like that.
