check_file_age help

[Jeremy Page]

Hello list, I am trying to use check_file_age on Ubuntu 10.04 to check a
local file system. When I specify the file name it works but using a
wildcard fails saying it cannot find the file. I need to use the
wildcard - the files have unique names based on the date created.

Both work when run interactively from the command line as the Nagios
service.

My check command is:
define command {
    command_name        check_file_age_v1
    command_line        $USER1$/check_file_age -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -f $ARG3$
    }

The service command is:

Works:
define service{
    host_name                 host.company.com
    service_description    backup check - Is the file new in the past 24
hours
    check_command       
check_file_age_v1!86400!172800!/stuff/backup/2012-07-30-02-01-30_backup.xml
    use            generic-service
    }

Does not work:
define service{
    host_name        host.company.com
    service_description    backup check - Is the file new in the past 24
hours
    check_command        check_file_age_v1!86400!172800!/stuff/backup/*
    use            generic-service
    }
