It's useful for monitoring incremental log files with names that change with the dates.
Output values: 0=OK, 1=Warning, 2=critical, 3=unknown
This script can be useful for monitoring application log file names that change with the date. For example, I often want to check if a process is still generating a log file (and that the file is not empty).
Intended for use with Nagios check_nrpe / nsclient++.
It accepts four arguments:
- directory path
- warning age (in minutes)
- critical age (in minutes)
- minimum file size (in bytes)
sample command line execution:
cscript check_MostRecentFile.vbs c:testdir 1440 2880 10
NOTE: Files with the "hidden" attribute are intentionally excluded by the script, but this can be easily changed if needed.

@peakyblinder - I believe you have to use short paths.
You can find out the short path of a directory by CMD>DIR /X
DIR /X gives you the short file name for each file/folder.
Example: C:PROGRA~1MICROS~3 is a short path to Program FilesMicrosoft SQL.

This works great except when you want to use spaces in your directory paths.
If you know of a workaround or how to specify the command it would be a great help.
Thanks,
