[Danny Nicholas]

+1 Dale - although it would be a good idea for OP to know the in's and out's

You should check out the STAT function.

core show function STAT



This should evaluate to 1
  ${STAT(e,/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/vm-goodbye.gsm)})

This should evaluate to 0
  ${STAT(e,/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/xyzzy.gsm)}
