Global set alert does not work with included files

[Francois FOURRIER]

Hello everyone,

thanks for this cool monit program !

I have some hard time making a global email alert to work.

My /etc/monitrc file lools like :
###########################
set daemon     120
set logfile    syslog
set mailserver 127.0.0.1
set alert address@hidden

set httpd port 2812
        ssl     enable
        pemfile "/etc/monit/mycert.pem"
        allowselfcertification
        allow admin:xxxxxx

include /etc/monit/cron
include /etc/monit/syslog-ng
...

An so on....
###########################

The trouble is that when an event occurs my qmail-send log output this :
starting delivery 597: msg 4237878 to remote address@hidden

Which obviously means that monit did not use the default email adress...

The only solution i've found is to include the alert opion inside each file
like this :

/etc/monit/mysqld
###########################

check process Mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
    start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql start"
    stop  program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"
    group database
    if failed unix "/tmp/mysql.sock" then restart
    alert address@hidden with mail-format { from: address@hidden
}
    if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
    depends mysqld_init
    depends mysqld_bin
    depends mysqldsafe_bin

check file mysqld_init with path /etc/init.d/mysql
    group database

check file mysqld_bin with path /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld
    group database

check file mysqldsafe_bin with path /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe
    group database
###########################

Then it works... But I have to manually insert this option in each included
file wich is not cool at all...

I can't find what is wrong here...

Do you have any hints ?

Thanks
