Because I always forget, here's how to check if a file exists before attempting to delete it in bash:


[ -f foobar.html ] && rm foobar.html

If you don't do it this way and the file doesn't exist you get this:


rm: cannot remove `foobar.html': No such file or directory

rm -f foobar.html will not complain if the file doesn't exist
