I am having trouble getting xymon to recognize the "noexist" flag. I
am getting the file OK but the test is always GREEN.
When the file exists, the test is OK, file exists
When I remove the file, the test stays green but clicking on the filename gives
[file:/home/xymon/TESTOK]
ERROR: No such file or directory

The file is in my client-local test and is picked up OK:

[netmon2.example.com]
file:/home/xymon/TESTOK:1024

And I have this in analysis.cfg:
#       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK yellow noexist
#       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK noexist yellow
       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK YELLOW NOEXIST

client-local.cfg (on the server)

[bert]
file:/tmp/GO_YELLOW

hobbit-clients.cfg (eqv of analysis on the server)*

HOST=bert
        FILE /tmp/GO_YELLOW yellow noexist

* on the _first_ server when send to a range of servers.

cheers,
Marten

Before I go through every possible permutation, please, what is the
right invocation? I want this test to return yellow if the file EXISTS

thanks Betsy
