[Xymon] XYMON - corrective measures?

[Tom S]

Thanks Henrik,

So this should do it?
HOST=www.foo.com <http://www.foo.com> SERVICE=http
MAIL cio at foo.com <mailto:cio at foo.com> DURATION>2 COLOR=red
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/restartapache.sh 123456789 REPEAT 1440

That above will email cio at foo.com after 2 minutes of RED
It will also call up /usr/local/bin/restartapache.sh and run it once every
24 hours if it's down that long?

Do I need to put in a DURATION on that one also or does it keep the 2
minutes from the above line or does it run it as soon as it see's it's
red?  Can I put a DURATION on that also? (eg. SCRIPT
/usr/local/bin/restartapache.sh 123456789 REPEAT 1440 DURATION>2 )

thanks!!
