Looking at the source code, the NOEXIST option is only available for file testing, not directory testing. You could make a request to add that feature.

The other option is to make your own simple external script that monitors for the non-existence of the directory.

Hi,

I need some help getting NOEXIST to work for a directory.

I want to make sure that the /run/log/journal directory doesn't exist.

I see the NOEXIST option, but it seems to be for a FILE and I'm not sure
what FILE semantics also apply to DIR. Thus far I've not been able to
get it to work correctly.
