I must say I do not understand what you are doing here.

In your example you are using sites on different hosts. I want to
monitor more sites (virtual hosts) on the same host. But when e.g.
Apache is down, I don't want to get many alerts.

I am also executing a script.

Can you tell more about what you do to avoid getting many alerts?

With regards,
Paul
