In Unix system, you can use the following command to check if a file exists:

if [ -e "/path/to/file" ]; then
    echo "File exists"
else
    echo "File does not exist"
fi

In the example above, the -e option is used to check if a file exists. If the file exists, it prints “File exists”; if the file does not exist, it prints “File does not exist”. You can modify the file path to check if other files exist according to your needs.
