[Xymon] REPEAT not working in alarm.cfg

[Tom Moore]

I would even put DURATION down there as well.  Use the top line to determine what to alert on, and in what case (color, service), and the second line as your action (what to do, when to do it, how often to repeat)

Ryan Novosielski, your insight did the trick, Having REPEAT on the first line of the Alarm cause it to fail(be ignored) for me. Moving REPEAT to the second line works like a champ.

Thanks.
