Re: [monit] alert clause gone wild

[monit user]

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I did want all alerts to go to both my addresses.
I just didn't realize that the "instance" events were associated with the 
check system - I thought that instance events were a hidden global level, not 
associated with any checks, so that even a monitrc with no checks would still 
send the instance events.
