Re: CHECK FILE with script to determine filepath

Thanks for reply.

Maybe I'm not understanding. We already run several different scripts for
monitoring other things but I would like to use the simple file content
monitoring supported out of the box.
I already do this for several other apps that have a fixed name logfile (or
their startup scripts create a soft-link to the logfile that I use) but for
a few apps we are deploying now the logfile has a timestamp embedded in it
which obviously can't be represented by a static entry on the "with path"
line -- so I would like to have monit execute a script every time it runs
this check to determine the logfile path.
