Hi Niel. Your idea may be useful to check the existence of directories depending on a pattern like: find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'pattern'. Do you mind if I append in your answer this trick? Cheers ;)

love this. all the rest of these -d suggestions require that you can access that directory, but if we just need to check for existence, this find approach is great.
