Checking if file exist with Jamf script (ROOT)

Hi Yarin,

I am a little unclear what you mean by "Current User location ( ~ )", but in bash, for instance, what you are looking for would be something like this -

#!/bin/bash

filelookingfor="/pathtofile/filename"

if [ -f $filelookingfor ];
then
# found the file do something
echo "found file"
else
# didn't find the file, do something
echo "file not found"
fi

@mm2270 posted a load of loop scripts. Can nest an if/else command into any of them for example.

@mm2270 I wrote a similar code and I don't know why but what you wrote works ! thanks !!!
I tested it on sierra and now I'll try to run it on other MacOS to be sure.
I'm using it to test if our Safari Extension product exist and if not remove it (and safari must be restarted)
The script will be used by costumers IT teams to deploy.
I'm sharing The code with you:

#!/bin/bash
#
##############################################################
###     Function to Restart Safari from Last Session       ###
##############################################################
function ReSafari {
    echo "Restarting Safari to update WalkMe Extension removal"
    osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" 
        quit
    end tell
    delay 2 -- Wait for Safari to close
    tell application "Safari" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Safari"
            click menu item "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" of menu "History" of menu bar 1
        end tell
    end tell'
}
