checks remote files in directory which are older than specified minutes

Project Notes
checks a directory on a remote system (via rsh or ssh) and returns a warning if a specified amount of files is found which is older than x minutes. We are using the find command with the option "-mmin" to select the correct files in a directory. The results are piped to the command "wc -l" to determine the amount of files found. The result is interpreted as a nagios status OK, WARNING or CRITICAL. Tested on Solaris 5.8 with the appropriate "find" packages from www.sunfreeware.com and tested on Linux. That's all folks

Hyphen is missing in formation of CMD in mmin parameter
by ashish.chandra, June 30, 2013
In formation of command a hyphen is missing ; that causes the cmd to always return zero . in mmin we need to provide (-) to ruun the command properly.

Expected :$CMD = "/bin/find " . $pattern . " -type f -mmin " . -$mmin . " 2>/dev/null| /usr/bin/wc -l";

Otherwise the plugin is excellent and runs great.

Exactly what I needed

I had to change the path for find in the plugin to adapt for my Red Hat servers but the plugin is most excellent!
