Hi John,
I do not have the luxury of using mkdir command for this.
It is a proprietary tool command that creates a dir. and
puts
some information in it. And it does not provide any option
to check
if the directory already exists.
At the end of your article I saw "test -d $( D) ||
mkdir -p $(D)" ..
I think if I replace mkdir -p with the tool command, it
should solve
my problem.
Thanks ..
