Test for file "noexist?"
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 NOEXISTBefore 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
Still hoping to get this working, any thoughts? thanks Betsy

Hi Betsy,
Below is what I have to check for lock files and it works fine.
I have it check to see if the file has been around for 900 seconds or more.
