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.

Howdy would you mind letting me know which
webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must
say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend
a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think that everything said was very logical. However, what about this?
suppose you typed a catchier title? I mean, I don’t wish to
tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a post title that makes people want more?
I mean How to force mkdir to create a directory if there isn’t already
one at Compdigitec Labs is a little vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo’s
home page and see how they write article headlines to grab people
to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
grab people excited about what you’ve got to
say. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little bit more interesting.
