Regular expressions must be specified for the entire match, so the
following is probably closer to the mark:<br>
<br>
FILE %/opt/WSCluster.*/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore
yellow NOEXIST<br>
<br>
In the client-local.cfg you can probably try an alternative also:<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal">file:`find
/opt/WSCluster*/WebSphere/wp_profile -type f -name javacore* |
sort -r`<o:p></o:p></p>
