RE: {bb} where are the alarms for bb-files.sh?

["Trent Melcher" <tmelcher@trilogytel.com>]

May I suggest using Jeff Stoner's version 1.1 "bb-files.sh" on deadcat  It
also uses a config file but much simpiler to configure in my opinion..... 

The config file "files.cfg"  also goes in the $BBHOME/etc directory but the
syntax seems easier to understand.

Format is:

<host> <type> <file> <size warning> <size critical> <min size> <growth
warning> <growth critical> 

Example:

Web pages directories stay a reasonable size
Www d /home/httpd/htdocs 20480000 40960000 5000 50 75

Make sure a 30K file exists (I use this, to make sure the /var/log
filesustem is mounted)
Localhost f /var/log/testfile -1 -1 25000 -1 -1

If my testfile is not at least 25K then I know either the file was deleted
or the filesystem isnt mounted anymore.
