I am not sure if we can execute SSIS package using t-sql, but I want to do the following:
Step1. Execute SSIS package1
Step2. Check for the file1.txt in c drive using the below code:
Declare @result int
exec xp_fileexist 'c:\file1.txt', @result output
IF (@result = 1) --if file exists exec ssis package
begin
Execute SSIS package2
end

If we can't use t-sql, please let me know how I can do that as part of sql job. Thanks!!

It took me about 30 seconds to find the answer by googling your problem. The answer is run dtexec to execute SSIS packages from the command line (or from xp_cmdshell).
