You could better explain what you mean by, "linux script."

[ipods#1]

I need to write a shell script that..

Asks the user to input a file name and then tests to see if that
file exists.

If the file exists, then they should be told EXACTLY the following:

"Yes it's just where you thought it was. It's name is [filename]"

If the file does NOT exist, they they should be told EXACTLY:

Sorry, it's just not there. It's name was [filename]

... iam supposed to use if then else read scripts...
can you help me out ??

thanks
