check_file_ages_in_dirs

Hi, it's possible to check against Windows directories? How?

Thanks!

Works fine as a quick solution, only feature I miss is to be able to exclude files from a certain directory that will not be updated // are allowed to be older.

Apart from that, it uses "Let" which seems to not-work on ubuntu that uses dash instead of bash: replace the /bin/sh with /bin/bash and you're fine.

Line 10 of this check_file_ages_in_dirs.sh has:
" . $PROGPATH/utils.sh"

This file is not in the download that I can see.

In order to get this plugin working I needed to do the following:

1. Comment out the utils.sh "#. $PROGPATH/utils.sh"
2. Add the following below where utils.sh was
"
STATE_OK=0
STATE_WARNING=1
STATE_CRITICAL=2
STATE_UNKNOWN=3
"

This makes the plugin work.

hi,

How to check file freshness on Remote SMB/Windows Shares ?

On SLES 10 with Bash 3.1.17 the script needs some minor modifications that it works.

I got these errors:

line 299: let: FILE_AGE = 1335536854 - : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")
line 300: let: FILE_AGE_UNITS = / 3600: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/ 3600")
line 303: [: -gt: unary operator expected
line 306: [: -gt: unary operator expected

How to fix it
--------------
Line 294 from:
st_ctime=`stat --printf=%Y ${next_filepath}`

Line 294 to:
st_ctime=`stat --format=%Y ${next_filepath}`

Line 303 from:
if [ $FILE_AGE -gt $MAX_CRIT_AGE ]; then

Line 303 to:
if [[ $FILE_AGE -gt $MAX_CRIT_AGE ]]; then

Line 306 from:
elif [ $FILE_AGE -gt $MAX_WARN_AGE ]; then

Line 306 to:
elif [[ $FILE_AGE -gt $MAX_WARN_AGE ]]; then

Besides that nice work!

I have only modify 2 lines to allow listing of files named with space

Hi,

I've read your information about your plugin and i want to use it, but i have a question.
You can set warnings/crits on any given time, but can you also decide what the warning must say e.g.: "Warning: the file 'test.txt' is too long in this folder!!" ?
I haven't tried your plugin YET, because i don't have a test environment YET.

Can you please answer my question, it would make a whole difference ;-)
