I want to monitor
some windows logs that are named with a date/time stamp using BBWin in
central mode. 

I've tried putting a command in backticks in
client-local.cfg ( log:` dir /B D:TransactTransactServerLogs*.tr1`:10240
) but although that command works perfectly in a windows command prompt,
I don't get anything monitored. If I hard code the name of the file all
works as expected. 
At the moment I suspect that what I want to do
is not possible but I thought I'd check with the mailing list before I
go looking in to external scripts to do this.
 BBWin cannot monitor log
files, only the Windows event-log. 
The Powershell-based WinPSClient
appears to do logfile-checks like the Unix-based Xymon client.
