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.
