 * Fixed CheckFile* time handling so it is "signed"
   This means you can check for "future dates" as well as future dates works correctly:
   Like so:
    CheckFile2 debug path=D:\tmp\dates filter+creation=>30m MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 "syntax=%filename%: %creation%"
    CRITICAL:past.txt: Thursday, December 31, 2009 08:47:30, found files: 1 > critical|'found files'=1;1;1;
    CheckFile2 debug path=D:\tmp\dates filter+creation=<-30m MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 "syntax=%filename%: %creation%"
    CRITICAL:future.txt: C: Thursday, December 31, 2009 12:47:11, found files: 1 > critical|'found files'=1;1;1;
 + Added volume support for CheckDriveSize (CHeckAll) like so:
   Like so:
    CheckDriveSize MinWarn=50% MinCrit=25% CheckAll=volumes FilterType=FIXED FilterType=REMOTE
 + Added %user% to syntax to print user who generated message.
   Like so:
    CheckEventLog file=application file=system filter=new filter=out MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=>2w filter-severity==success filter-severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions "syntax=%user% (%count%)"
    CRITICAL: (1),  (2), NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), missing (3), missing (5),  (4), missing (2), missing (2), missing (2), missing (2),  (1), eventlog: 33 > critical|'eventlog'=33;1;1;

 ! BREAKING CHANGE!
 ! New perfoamcen data syntax for ALL % checks
   Alias is '<alias> %' and it also has the "full" non % data as '<alias>'
   Like so:
	CheckDriveSize CheckAll MaxWarnUsed=80% MaxCritUsed=90%
	CRITICAL:CRITICAL: C:\: Total: 146G - Used: 140G (95%) - Free: 6.31G (5%) > critical, D:\: Total: 152G - Used: 148G (97%) - Free: 3.59G (3%) > critical|'C:\ %'=95%;80;90; 'C:\'=140.17G;117.18;131.83;0;146.48; 'D:\ %'=97%;80;90; 'D:\'=147.93G;121.21;136.3;0;151.52;
	CheckDriveSize CheckAll MaxWarnFree=20% MaxCritFree=10%
	OK:OK: All drives within bounds.|'C:\ %'=5%;20;10; 'C:\'=140.17G;29.29;14.64;0;146.48; 'D:\ %'=3%;20;10; 'D:\'=147.93G;30.30;15.15;0;151.52;
	CheckDriveSize CheckAll MaxWarnUsed=100G MaxCritUsed=150G

New nightly out!

Mainly disk and file related additions:

Full changelog here 

2009-12-13 MickeM
 + Added new command: CheckSingleFile to check aspects of a single file use like so:
   CheckSingleFile file=d:\nrpe_512.pem warn=>100 check=line-count warn=>100 crit=>170 check=size
 + Added option debug to CheckFile2 to enable printing of debug information
 + Added ignore-errors to "ignore" any filesystem related errors (NOTICE this is probably not what you want)
 + Added master-syntax to CheckFile2 to change the overall message like so:
    It takes three options (and char data):
     * %list% A list of all "files" (syntax controls this)
     * %files% number of files
     * %matches% number of files matched
    CheckFile2 MinWarn=10 MinCrit=10 path=D:\WINDOWS\system32 filter+size=gt:0 truncate=10 ignore-errors "master-syntax=%matches%/%files%"
    OK:7177/7...|'found files'=7177;10;10;

2009-12-06 MickeM
 + Added != to all string filters
 + Sorted out the alias handling it is now wither what you specify or "files found" (this makes performance data work)
 + Added version to CheckFile2
   CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=1.0 "syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1
   CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=6.0.2900.5512 "syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1
 + Added line count to CheckFile2 to count lines
   CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.txt filter+line-count=!=2 "syntax=%filename%: %line-count%" MaxWarn=1
   CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.txt filter+line-count=ne:3 "syntax=%filename%: %line-count%" MaxWarn=1
