analysis.cfg and TIME= 🔗 link

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor a file on a specific day of month?

Thanks!

Sure it is, one way or another.  Can you be more specific in what you're
trying to do?  Can you describe what you mean by "monitor"?

Sorry for not being specific.
What I want to do is to monitor a file via analysis.cfg if file exists on
the first day of the month only.
With a "TIME=" tag I can specify only a day of week.
At least that was what I found in man pages, is that right?

Of course I could write some ext script, but build in functionality would
be very nice.

Thank you!

Correct.  The time specification is described fully for the NKTIME
parameter in the hosts.cfg man page.  You can specify any, some or all days
of the week, but nothing to match days of the month.

 Yes, probably a script.  Depending on what conditions you're trying to
detect, you might be able to use a fancy backtick shell scriptlet in
client-local.cfg.
