We can use test command in two ways as,

1. For using to combine two expression as,

/tmp/test, /tmp/ok files

test -f /tmp/test -a -f /tmp/ok
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
   echo "Two files are available"
fi

2. For using to check the files availablity as,

[[ -a /tmp/ok ]] && echo "File is available"

-a is getting differed based on the test operation.

Thanks,
