[Xymon] XYMON - corrective measures?

[Tom S]

Thanks.

So this will work?: (example in alerts.cfg)
HOST=www.foo.com SERVICE=http
MAIL cio at foo.com DURATION>2 COLOR=red
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/restartapache.sh

and in restartapache.sh I would have the following:
#/bin/bash
ssh xymon at web1-server 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart'
exit
(considering xymon is in the sudoers list)

How can I make sure that the 'SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/restartapache.sh' is
only run once per alert in case of network issues (connecting to port 80)
it doesn't keep trying to ssh and restarting the server every few minutes?

TIA
