Hello list, I am trying to use check_file_age on Ubuntu 10.04 to check a local file system. When I specify the file name it works but using a wildcard fails saying it cannot find the file. I need to use the wildcard - the files have unique names based on the date created.
Both work when run interactively from the command line as the Nagios service. My check command is: define command { command_name check_file_age_v1 command_line $USER1$/check_file_age -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -f $ARG3$ } The service command is: Works: define service{ host_name host.company.com service_description backup check - Is the file new in the past 24 hours check_command check_file_age_v1!86400!172800!/stuff/backup/2012-07-30-02-01-30_backup.xml use generic-service } Does not work: define service{ host_name host.company.com service_description backup check - Is the file new in the past 24 hours check_command check_file_age_v1!86400!172800!/stuff/backup/* use generic-service } Please be advised that this email may contain confidential information.
