Re: [hobbit] to test the non-existence of a dir

Josh Luthman a écrit :

Off the top of my head I think you want something like,

if {-d /this/subdir}
echo BBVAR=green
else
echo BBVAR=red
I'm sure I'm missing a lot, not looking at it right now. Pretty sure -d tests directories.

    Hi,

    Xymon allow me to test the non existence of file or directory. But
    I'd like a more complex test. In my case, I don't want any
    directory named _FIXED_PART_anything in a whole tree.
    Example :

    I've
    /toto/_FIXED_PART_1 -> test is red
    /toto/a/sub/directory/_FIXED_PART_hello_world -> test is red

    So, is there a "normal" way to use "files"  test included in xymon ?

A shell script should look like this :

find $TREE -type d -name _FIXED_PART_\*
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
   BBVAR=red
else
   BBVAR=green
fi

But i prefer to use integrated "files" test
