Trigger question: How to trigger on how old an timestamp-item is.

[lauerdk]

So, I have an item in a windowsserver, which checks when a directory on the server is modified.
The result is stored as an timestamp (unix epoch), and I want to make a trigger which tells me if the timestamp is older than 24 hours.

In the documentation says something about now()-function, but I can't see how to use it in this case.

Can someone in here help me?

I just created a trigger which look on the delta the last x-secounds.

This should no return 0, and if it does, the trigger should be activated.

Like this, where the file should be updated every 8 hours (60*60*8 = 28800)

{host:vfs.file.time[c:/important/file, modify].delta(28800)}=0

And how about a file that should change exactly at a specified time?

In other words, how to trigger an alarm at a specific time in the day and check the file has NOT been modified?

Use diff() function and custom update interval.
