Monitoring DB Backupfiles

[Mick7]

Hi all,

i have a nasty little Problem.
Situation is: i have a MySQL DB Server who make automated daily Backups.
The filename contains the Dateformat YYYY-MM-DD
Now i would like to check if the daily backupfile have been created (at least)...and (as a bonus) if the actual backupfile is larger than the previous one (because if not, there would be something really wrong)).

I have RTFM but there isnt even a single hint to a solution (or at least i didnt found it) I know how to manage simple triggers, items and actions aso but cant find a function or macro that sounds like it would do the job.
I know how to monitor a logfile with the .str parameter. Is this possible with filenames too without a script (i cant write scripts )?

Any hint would be really helpful.

I used send trapper to send a OK or ERROR just after the script finish.... and i created a trigger to run if i receive ERROR... and other trigger if i got nothing after a period (nodata function).

hope this help...
