Yes, add the line:
Code: [Select]
usr/local/nginx/html/index.htmlexactly as spelled to your  /opt/filetool.lst  file and run a backup before rebooting.

No, the leading slash should be omitted.

Eventually you will want to have your website in a separate directory tree. Keep configuration files in /usr/local/etc, executables in /usr/local/bin, and data files somewhere else altogether such as /srv, /var, or something like this. This isn't Windows, so you can actually keep your system properly organized.

No, the leading slash should be omitted.
Just tested
the result will be the same with leading slash or without
/usr/local/nginx/html/index.html
but I must type
filetool.sh -b
otherwise /opt/.filetool.lst won't be persist
