<sys/types.h> is generally redundant, now that POSIX 2008 requires most
headers to be self-contained.

General observation: using stat() for existence checks is generally
slower than access(,F_OK), because the kernel has to do more work to
populate the result buffer that you then ignore.  While what you have
works, maybe you should consider rewriting this to use access().

Why <sys/wait.h>?

Missing _() around that last string.

ACK to the overall idea, but you may want to respin this given my comments.
