        -e FILE
               FILE exists

        -f FILE
               FILE exists and is a regular file

        -s FILE
               FILE exists and has a size greater than zero


if [ -f File ]; then 

   if [ -s File ]; then
     echo File exist and is greater than zero
   else
     echo file exists and is empty
   fi
else
   echo does not exist
fi
