Re: [hobbit] Monitoring file sizes

["Darrin Khan" <medavian (at) gmail.com>]

Hi Paul,

You will also need an entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.

The entry in client-local.cfg tells the hobbit client to check this file and
send the details on the file
back to the server, where as the one in hobbit-clients.cfg does the
evaluation of the data
returned from the hobbit client.

It is pretty well documented. Maybe something like ..

HOST=nms.am.my.net
    FILE /bin/sh yellow TRACK

Hope this helps ..
