I'm currently locating files using the find command in client-local.cfg, a la:
file:find /path/to/file/locations -type f -name somename*
And alerting if the files exist in analysis.cfg a la:
FILE %/path/to/file/locations/somename.* yellow NOEXIST
The first command looks in the particular path for a file to appear starting with somename. So if a file starting with "somename" appears in the directory as noted, it generates a yellow alert.
I would imagine that you could try:
file:find /path/to/file/locations -type f -mtime -1
and
FILE %/path/to/file/locations/.* <color> NOEXIST
The option in client-local.cfg will cause the remote client to search for and list anything in the specified path that has an mtime less than 1 day old, and if found/listed, analysis.cfg should generate an alert of <color> status.

Is there a way to check an MTIME on a file, AND ignore its existence.
In other words, I don't care if the file exists or not, but I want to be alerted if the file does exists AND was last modified over 24 hours ago.
