file size check

Comment:

Hi, Can some one please tell me how can I compare size of the file. I am currently reading file, size and du utilites. But I am not sure how to go about it. I want to compare a file size to check whether it is an empty file, if it is then I want to take up some action. Can some one please tell me which is the way to go. Thanks. Aki

if [ -f filename -a ! -s filename ] ; then echo "The file exists and is empty" fi or if [ -f filename -a `ls -l filename | awk '{ print $5 }' -eq 0 ] ; then

Sorry. I missed the closing back tick. This should have been: if [ -f filename -a `ls -l filename | awk '{ print $5 }'` -eq 0 ] ; then
