I'm using actually xymon 4.2.3. I check for presence of some files (red  if present, else green ), and it's working very well.
I'd like to do almost same test with directory. Final objective is :
if there is any directory called toto_ANYTHING in /tata (to any level in  the directory hierarchy of /tata, I'd like yellow result, else green  result).

Not sure if it will work, but I'd start with something like
  [host]
  file:`find /tata -name toto_*`
That gives you a list of the files you're looking for. And then
in hobbit-clients.cfg you would have

  HOST=host
      FILE %^/tata/toto_ yellow noexist

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately this didn't work.
If I replace
file:`find /tata -name toto_*` with
with
file:$(find /tata -name toto_*) I can get :

green $(find /tata -type d -name toto_*)
But it's wrong, I have a toto_test directory in /tata

So, I don't think it's the appropriate solution
