Hi Foster,

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is a bug in how that option is
processed. As a workaround, you can lie to xymonnet about what interval
it's been told to run (from xymonlaunch) at with:

> CMD env TASKSLEEP=75 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
--dns-timeout=5

This should result in what you want.

The following patch should fix it for you, and this will be in the next
version.
