Well, this sucks. Since I'm monitoring a tmp file, it only needs to
trigger if the file is older than 15 minutes. However, if I use noexist,
is squawks if it exists, if I don't it squawks when it doesn't. Ultimately,
I don't care if it is there or not, only that it isn't older than 15
minutes if it does exist. I'm stumped...maybe setting delayred to 20???
Anyone else ever had to solve this?

Figured it out. I made the mistake of believing the man page and doc in
analysis.cfg.
FILE filename [color] [things to check] [TRACK]
Should read:
FILE filename [things to check] [color] [TRACK]
color needs to come after the checks. I happened to notice one of the
examples used this and changed mine to use it and (surprise) my file test
started working.

You saying no exist not exist. The way I read it they are ANDs.

Subject: [Xymon] File check question
Hey,
I have a question about file tests. The man pages say
FILE filename [color] [things to check] [TRACK]
I have a test defined as
FILE /tmp/ldap2pw.lck red NOEXIST MTIME>900
How does the "[things to check]" actually parse? Is it an "and" or an
"or"? In other words, would that read "the file exists AND hasn't been
modified for more than 15 minutes" or "the file exists OR hasn't been
modified for more than 15 minutes". I'm assuming "and"...actually I
need it to be "and" in this case. Or do I have to explicitly say
something like "NOEXIST and MTIME>900"? I can't find anything about that.
thx
