file changed problem

[xavier]

It looks like the IF FILE CHANGED SIZE (or TIMESTAMP) combined with an exec is not functioning at all.

 

I tried many settings, and read the mailing lists etc, but no go.

 

this is my simple config (partialy)

 

check file lala with path /home
        IF CHANGED TIMESTAMP
          THEN exec "/bin/bash -c '/root/lalatime'"
        if changed size
          then exec '/root/lalasize'

 

 

if i look onto the status httppage, it says:

 

File status

Parameter	Value
Name	lala
Path	/home/
Status	Invalid type
Monitoring mode	active
Monitoring status	monitored
Check service	every 1 cycle
Data collected	Sun Dec 4 02:55:11 2005
Permission	0
UID	0
GID	0
Timestamp	Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970
Size	0 B
Match regex	no
Associated timestamp	If changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then exec
Associated size	If changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then exec

 

 

no mather what i do, it doesnt work at all.

the info it provides here doesnt fit with the actual case, i mean, the file-timestamp is from today, and not 1970 as seen in the status, permisions are -rw-r--r-- (here it says 0) and the size doenst match either.

 

any suggestions please?

 

btw, all the other functions i use DO work fine as expected
