I was thinking about marking each one that’s been taken, and calling an event handler if there are any left. Incase for some reason Nagios doesn’t run the check when there’s new data. Maybe making the check an OK unless there are no files in the intended directory in which case it would give a warning.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any suggestions would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thank you.<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
