Hi, it's possible to check against Windows directories? How?
Thanks!
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.
" . $PROGPATH/utils.sh"

utils.sh is now provided with the package if you need it, RHEL/CentOS systems provide this file as part of the nagios-plugins package.

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

Owner's reply
The plugin *should* work for any directory structure that exists in the local filesystem. Haven't tested it specifically with something like NFS, and I've never used Samba, so can't speak to that.

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 ;-)

Very delayed reply, and, no, you currently can't set the content of the messages.
