to test the non-existence of a dir

Hi,

two remarks:

Did you use backticks (`) around the command?
And, I made a mistake with the "|", this is not necessary.

So, the right format for the entry in client-local.cfg is:

file:`find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"`

(refer to the manpage of client-local.cfg for it)

HTH,

Hi,

hm, first was comes in mind (not tested):

- use a find command in client-local.cfg, like
'find / -name "*_FIXED_PART_1*" |'
- use a regex along with noexist in hobbit-clients.cfg, like:
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_1.* red noexist

That should do the trick...

Off the top of my head I think you want something like,

if {-d /this/subdir}
echo BBVAR=green
else
echo BBVAR=red

I'm sure I'm missing a lot, not looking at it right now.  Pretty 
sure -d tests directories.

    Hi,

    Xymon allow me to test the non existence of file or directory. But
    I'd like a more complex test. In my case, I don't want any
    directory named _FIXED_PART_anything in a whole tree.
    Example :

    I've
    /toto/_FIXED_PART_1 -> test is red
    /toto/a/sub/directory/_FIXED_PART_hello_world -> test is red

    So, is there a "normal" way to use "files"  test included in 
xymon ?

    Regards,
    Damien

A shell script should look like this :

find $TREE -type d -name _FIXED_PART_\*
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    BBVAR=red
else
    BBVAR=green
fi

But i prefer to use integrated "files" test

Tks for your help, but your trick didn't work.

I added
file:'find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*" |'
to my host section in client-local.cfg
then I added
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_.* red noexist
to my host section in hobbit-clients.cfg

but nothing happens when i created a directory called _FIXED_PART_test 
in /tmp (no alert or anything)
in files test, i've the following :

&green 'find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*" |' <https://www.makelofine.org/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=stan&SECTION=file:%27find%20/warez%20-type%20d%20-name>;

When I click on the link, i've :
<No data>


When I manually execute :
find /-type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"
I can see /tmp/_FIXED_PART_test
