[hobbit] hobbit-alerts.cfg - DURATION

[Gary Baluha]

Now that I think of it, if the goal is just to have the alert send an email
once, you probably just want to remove the REPEAT= part (not sure if there
is a default for this), or optionally change it to something like
REPEAT=1d.  In that case, the DURATION isn't needed.
