I need to check if a directory is empty using an if condition
in the pseudocode below

if [ directory is empty ] ; then

else

although i looked at a few forums on this topic, I left feeling a little unclear and i could not use the command successfully

what can i substitute in the if conditon above, which will let me check if a directory is empty

thnks for all help

One way is to use ls -A i.e.

#!/bin/ksh93

DIR=./test

if [[ -z $(ls -A $DIR) ]]
then
    echo "empty"
else
    echo "not empty"
fi
