[hobbit] to test the non-existence of a dir

[Husemann, Harald]

Hi,

two remarks:

Did you use backticks (`) around the command?
And, I made a mistake with the "|", this is not necessary.

So, the right format for the entry in client-local.cfg is:

file:`find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"`

(refer to the manpage of client-local.cfg for it)

HTH,
