Sheesh, this is why one should not post early on Monday morning prior
to second coffee....

The username is enmac but I was attempting to sanitize...

Ahh, of course.  we just want the filename, not the verbose output from 'ls'...

Many thanks

Hi all

I'm having a problem with a definition in /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg.
---
[host=dmz_ap01]
file:`ls -ltr /home/enmac/customer-data/CUST9100REP*CSV | tail -n 1`
---
The problem is that Xymon reports bad (red) with the page showing

 -rw-r--r-- 1 username groupname14314345 Mar 10  2014
/home/username/customer-data/CUST9100REP20140310002349.CSV
File is missing
---
Now, the file is not missing, and Xymon is correctly showing its mode,
size, ownership details, etc.
Any ideas what I've done wrong here?

Thanks

Hi Colin,

Well, the first (obvious) question would be whether 'enmac' or 'username'
were typos there -- or if they're not referring to the same path.
Otherwise I believe simple file globs (or their equivalent) are expected
there by logfetch and the '-l' option (ell) you're giving to 'ls' might be
confusing it. Can you try it without that?

HTH,
