Re: [monit] Monit to take action if outage is still there on its n'th instance eg 4th

[George]

Hello I tried this

check host myhost with address 10.1.2.3
   if failed icmp type echo then alert   
   if failed icmp type echo for 4 cycles then exec "/srv/crons/monit/monit_scripts/testSMS.php"

But it kept alerting and not once did it send the sms on the fourth try, what do i cahnge above?

Thanks
George
