NSClient++ Help (#1) - CheckFiles test for missing file (#770) - Message List

I am trying us NSClient to do two tests on a file. The first is to check the age of an xml file. It needs to be less than 10 minutes. This works great.

/check_nrpe -H 192.168.10.205 -c CheckFiles -a path='c:\XML\empty' pattern=contents.xml.old MaxWarn=1 'filter=creation gt 10m'

The file must also exist. If it doesn't I need a warning. I was hoping CheckFiles would does this but it does not work for me. I have created two directories for testing one with a file and one without. Both return the same result:

check_nrpe -H 192.168.10.205 -c CheckFiles -a path='c:\XML\empty' pattern=contents.xml.old MaxWarn=1 'filter=written gt 10m'
CheckFile ok|'found files'=0;1;0

/check_nrpe -H 192.168.10.205 -c CheckFiles -a path='c:\XML\file' pattern=Contents.xml.old MaxWarn=1 'filter=written gt 10m'
CheckFile ok|'found files'=0;1;0

I was wondering if anyone might have a suggestion for checking for an expected file.

I wasn't having any luck with 3.8 so I am using one of the nightly builds: 0.3.9-Win32-20110331-2148.
