Dear Stephen,

I understand and agree with your intentions, but I dislike to invent a new, totally non-standard command.
In UNIX, we would use the "test" command for such purposes. Would it not make sense to implement this feature in a more compatible way? we have "test", soo, so we should be able to plug it in there?
What do you think?
I thought that "test -e mmc 0:1 /boot/boot.scr" was different enough from a regular Unix shell's single-argument path that it would look a little weird. Still, it works out fine, so I've sent V3 that implements this via test instead.
Yes, it looks weird, but unless we have a better device model and abstraction for files this is probably the best we can get.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
