Hi, I modified my host-notify-by-email command to include a line to indicate how long a host had been down. When I saw it come out in this HOST UP recovery notification as zero seconds, some quick further reading shed light on why. I know this will be useful for re-notification of hosts that are still down, but I'd like a total on the recovery HOST up mail as well. Any way to obtain this without keeping some home-grown state table or similar mechanism? It looks like the info might be in the status.dat, but I don't know if I should be constantly accessing this file.
