[Xymon] Test for file "noexist?"

[greg.shea at emc.com]

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.

client-local.cfg:file:/apps/icsapp1/InCharge7/IP/smarts/local/script/ic-bak/ic-bak-monitor-AMPM.LOCK

analysis.cfg:        FILE /apps/icsapp1/InCharge7/IP/smarts/local/script/ic-bak/ic-bak-monitor-AMPM.LOCK red NOEXIST MTIME>900
