One of the things about a Linux system is how easy it is to create and run Shell Scripts, finding good examples on the net isn’t. I needed a way to check if a directory exists before trying to create it and do work within that new directory. There are a lot of on-line communities dedicated to Linux topics. The trouble is that there is a lot of confusing advice. I believe the reason is that there are a lot of well meaning but inexperienced users on those sites giving out advice.

My thoughts drifting though my attention held fast, wondering how we ended up here in this desert, little sleep, listening to the gurgled tones rising from him, struck by the stark reality, he would soon die.
