Bash script to plugin

[kbauma01]

Hey everyone,

I have a very basic bash script that checks if a file exists. When I run it on the command line, it works with no issues.

# ./check_file_exist.sh /junk
CRITICAL - /junk does not exist!

# ./check_file_exist.sh /var/log/messages
OK - /var/log/messages exists.

My question is how do I get that check working in XI? There are some servers that have to see that file and if it doesn't exist then alert us. I think there is documentation but my google-fu is not working well this morning!
