How to force mkdir to create a directory if there isn’t already one
By admin | September 3, 2008
If you’ve ever tried to make a directory if there isn’t one existing, you probably have bumped into the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory `the_directory': File exists
To fix this, use this instead to suppress error and create parent directories if needed:
mkdir -p your_directory
For more information, see the mkdir page at Wikipedia.

Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different
web browsers and both show the same outcome.

Hi there, constantly i used to check webpage posts here in the early hours in the morning, because
i love to learn more and more.

I think everything published made a lot of sense.
However, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title?
I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., however suppose you added a title that grabbed people’s attention?
I mean How to force mkdir to create a directory if there isn’t already
one at Compdigitec Labs is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how
they create news headlines to get people interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to
grab people interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion,
it might bring your posts a little livelier.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just
so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making
a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
