For wildcard, you want '.*' to represent any character instead of '*'
alone. I have a handful of this kind of FILE checks.

hi all,
Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames
but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file.
If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert.
in client-local.cfg I have
file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1`
which produces the oldest file name on the web page.
I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg
FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200
but I get no alarms.
Any ideas ?
