file testing

[Thomas <tlp-hobbit (at) holme-pedersen.dk>]

hi all,

Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames 
but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file. 
If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert.

in client-local.cfg I have

file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1`

which produces the oldest file name on the web page.

I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg

  FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200

but I get no alarms.

Any ideas ?
