[hobbit] using hobbit to monitor the number of files

[Dean Casey]

Should be simple enough to write a shell script for that. 

$variable=`ls <directory name> |  wc -l` will work on Solaris and
RedHat. Just get the value of $variable.

Say, in a mail or print spool.  I know hobbit can check the age or
existence of a file, but how about the number of files in a dir?

I'm sure it's trivial to do, but I haven't run across this yet, so
before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask. 

I would like hobbit to report on the number of files in a given
location, and then generate an alert if it's above the warning or fatal
levels.

Thanks.
