Thanks, that is very interesting, I did not know the features could be
put together like that!
don't think that will work though because it's not going to clear when
the variable changes
I don't see why not.  The file will be either zero length or larger.  If
it's larger, the test goes yellow; if it's zero length, the test (by
default) goes green.

anyway just for fun the requestor added a third requirement which is
to track how long it's been yellow, so I am definitely doing a custom
test (in anticipation of requirements #4...#n...)
Scope creep *sigh* - yeah, an external script seems like the thing to do.
