Thanks for the offer, Kenneth. I have a simple script (ls $dir | wc -l) as well but I had thought that it was already a part of the Xymon base. It would be nice to have it as an option to DIR and if I can find the time, I may look into dusting off my C skills and take a user-f38fa604f572@xymon.invalid using the terms "skills" along side "C" is a stretch for me :-).

Subject: SV: [Xymon] file counts
Hi Galen,
I'm using the count file feature but with a external script on windows along with bbwin 0.13 or 0.12
It a two part script, one cfg file in the bbwin etc folder and one vbs in the bbwin ext folder.
Then call it from bbwin.cfg
Actually it's the bbwin, fsmon.vbs that I have altered so it fits my needs.
Let me know if you want the script.
Med Venlig Hilsen

Emne: Re: [Xymon] file counts
Apparently, I wasn't the only one with this need. I found a thread from 2011. I really don't want to go that route so consider this a feature request that DIR can support more than just size but file count as well.

?Hey,
I could've sworn that Xymon had a way to count the number of files in a particular directory (natively) and you could set up alerts based on number of files. Apparently, I was wrong or I'm not seeing it in the docs. Obviously, I could get clever with file ages but that's just annoying. Am I missing something?
thanks
