Re: file changed timestamp

Hi,

can you get the "stat" output for that file? Monit tests the mtime (content 
modification time) and ctime (inode modification time - owner, permission, 
etc.), the event is generated if one of them changed. The "ls" won't display 
ctime by default, to display the ctime with ls, you can use: "ls -lc"

Regards,
Martin
