[Xymon] Re: Need help with NOEXIST for a directory

Looking at the source code, the NOEXIST option is only available for file testing, not directory testing.  You could make a request to add that feature.

Thank you for clarifying and confirming what I thought might be the case. :-)

The other option is to make your own simple external script that monitors for the non-existence of the directory.

I've used a dir:COMMAND in the client-local.cfg (from memory) file that looks for the directory and doesn't report it if it's not there and avoids failing if the directory isn't there. I then have a DIR: ... SIZE<1 in analysis.cfg for the directory in question.
