I am having trouble getting xymon to recognize the "noexist" flag. I
am getting the file OK but the test is always GREEN.
When the file exists, the test is OK, file exists
When I remove the file, the test stays green but clicking on the filename gives
[file:/home/xymon/TESTOK]
ERROR: No such file or directory

The file is in my client-local test and is picked up OK:

[netmon2.example.com]
file:/home/xymon/TESTOK:1024

And I have this in analysis.cfg:
#       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK yellow noexist
#       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK noexist yellow
       FILE /home/xymon/TESTOK YELLOW NOEXIST

Before I go through every possible permutation, please, what is the
right invocation? I want this test to return yellow if the file EXISTS

thanks Betsy
