Thanks for the tip. I can't see where it says this in the man page,
but now I know.
I've noticed that the -u switch is not being sent to the alert script
when a service becomes available again. I've confirmed this with the
test.alert script.
Using mon 1.27 from Debian Sarge.
here is the relevant part of mon.cf:
watch testservers
service http
interval 15s
monitor http.monitor
period wd {Sun-Sat}
alert test.alert -p 80
alertevery 45m
upalert test.alert -p 80
alertevery 45m
The alert script *is* being called, just not with the -u switch. Even
if I add it in mon.cf
