Re: [hobbit] File monitoring.
to my surprise, * actually works on my Hobbit-4.2rc1-20060712 server.
what's your test condition? You want it to alert when your oldest file is
less than 2-hour old ? More commonly, people want to test if their oldest
file is older than 2-hour old (mtime >7200 instead of mtime < 7200).
To further troubleshoot: on your client, check the
logfetch.ClientNameHere.cfg under ~hobbit/client/tmp/. Also check
msg.ClientNameHere.txt therein to see whether it has a
[file:/ftp/input/oldestFileName.gz]
section.

both are ok,since .* is not greedy as in PERL's. The former is preferred
since it provides more exact match.
