I too wish I had more time between host checks and you've prompted me to try something in my check_alive script. Would this snippet do the trick? TIMEGAP=10 # number of seconds before host checks if [ $HOSTSTATE$ = "DOWN" -a $HOSTSTATETYPE$ = "SOFT" ] then sleep $TIMEGAP fi exit 2 I would have used ... if [ $HOSTSTATE$ = "DOWN" -a $HOSTATTEMPT$ -lt $MAXHOSTATTEMPT$ ] then sleep $TIMEGAP fi ... but oddly there seems to be no $MAXHOSTATTEMPT$ macro. -- - Kyle --------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.panix.com/~kylet --------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
