[Xymon] Problem with FILE monitoring

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi, I have an issue with FILE monitoring. I can't seem to get it to alert
correctly if the file exists.

This is the relevant line from my client-local.cfg,

file:`ls -l /applogs/mdmpim/dump/*.txt 2>/dev/null`

and this is the relevant line from my analysis.cfg,

FILE "%/applogs/mdmpim/dump/*.txt" NOEXIST yellow

I've also tried,

FILE "%/applogs/mdmpim/dump/*.txt" yellow NOEXIST,

FILE "%/applogs/mdmpim/dump/*.txt" yellow noexist

and

FILE "%/applogs/mdmpim/dump/*.txt" yellow

None of them actually flag yellow!

All I get is

Files status at Wed Feb 3 11:57:36 GMT 2016

green -rw-rw-r-- 1 pimwas pimwas 254632 Jan 22 10:01
/applogs/mdmpim/dump/javacore.20160122.100109.30318.0006.txt

So it looks like it's recognising that the file is there but the colour
change isn't happening.
