It can then easily be tweaked (just do the reverse logic) to check a file to see if it was changed/modified. So you can check to see if the file is changing (eg, a log file), or check to see if someone modifies a file (change to a critical config file). -- Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com/">http://www.techadre.com</A> <HR id=stopSpelling> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:32:53 +0530 From: selvakumar.a@europlex.in To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net; nagios-users-request@lists.sourceforge.net CC: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Plugin to monitor a file Dear All, I would like to monitor a file in the server,whether it is opened or modified.Is there any plugin available for that?
