Re: file changed problem

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

You are testing a directory (/home/) not a file. The test "if changed  
size" may not be used with a directory.

Monit report /home/ correctly as an invalid type which you can see  
from your screenshot. To avoid any doubt in the future I have also  
tighten this test when parsing the control file.
