custom script

[Martinus Nel]

Andreas,

What I don't understand is how it differs from what's in the script at 
the moment:

# Check if file exists.
if [ ! -f $LOG_FILE ]
then
        echo "File does not exist."
        exit $CRITICAL
fi

Apart from the fact that your is 4 lines less :-)

Martinus.
