Re: Another feature

Hi,

I am trying this:

check host acs1 with address acs1
    if failed icmp type echo count 4 with timeout 15 seconds
        then exec "/root/Scripts/alert.sh ping"

If I pull the ethernet connection to ascs1 then sure enough the script runs.

However, I get the message multiple times.  Does 'alert' do something like set 
a fail flag against the monitored object, which it later clears when the fault 
is rectified ?


Thanks,
Andrew
