file monitor to anounce on a specific file change

[Omen]

Hi looking to add script that will send /notice to #channel of a specific file...
e.g filewanted

on 1:TEXT:$trigger:*:/notice $chan $read($mircdir\testdirectory\filewanted.txt,$lines($mircdir\testdirectory\filewanted.txt))


now i need to figure how to have this filewanted.txt sent /notice when file has been changed (filemonitor).

tks

First of all, your $read is only going to display the last line in the file. Is that what you wanted?

Also, what is changing the file? A script? Or is it being changed manually? Or something else?

have this running at moment and works.... now i'd like to have the notice sent 10 times at intervals of 60minutes..?
/notice #works New log detected $read($mircdir\logs\log.txt,$lines($mircdir\logs\log.txt))

****** start script bellow ******
