You didn't say what you were looking for.  Size of file?  Existence of

Correct.  The time specification is described fully for the NKTIME
parameter in the hosts.cfg man page.  You can specify any, some or all days
of the week, but nothing to match days of the month.

 Yes, probably a script.  Depending on what conditions you're trying to
detect, you might be able to use a fancy backtick shell scriptlet in
client-local.cfg.
