RE: Host connection test and alert/exec

[Andreas Rust]

Hello,

the idea of resolving this is too good to be true ofcourse. :)

It appears that the term "within X cycles" is only available on
resource testing and service timeout. the [timeout] option on the
connection testing is for the time monit should keep trying to connect.
A very nice option aswell, I have to say :)

Unfortunately it doesn't work this way.
Maybe an idea to add this option to the parser here ?
