alert address@hidden with reminder on 15 cycles

Apologies - the above is incorrect. I meant to say I've tried the
following syntax from the docs:

CHECK PROGRAM sa-update WITH PATH "/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/sa-update'"
    IF STATUS > 1 FOR 3 CYCLES THEN ALERT REPEAT EVERY 720 CYCLES

and Monit doesn't accept it - it doesn't seem to like the word REPEAT:

     /etc/monitrc:164: syntax error 'REPEAT'
