Error description

• The Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS, starting from
  
  6.2.2 FP4, in no more able to manage situations on FILEINFO
  attribute that have in File attribute path+file.
  Situations including File_Information attributes like the
  following do not work.
  
  
  *IF *VALUE File_Information.File *EQ '/tmp/test.txt' *AND
  *VALUE File_Information.File_Content_Changed *EQ Yes
  
  
  The right way to monitor files is that you define File and Path
  separately.
  
  *IF *VALUE File_Information.Path *EQ '/tmp/' *AND *VALUE
  File_Information.File *EQ test.txt *AND *VALUE
  File_Information.File_Content_Changed *EQ Yes
  
  Anyway the old deprecate behavior is going to be reintroduced
  in order to do not break customer's existing situations.
