Jeff,
Just a
couple of thoughts...do you have a backup modem that may be sending a second set
of alerts?...and secondly, check with your cell phone carrier, if you are using
text messaging to send the alerts to your cell phones, most of them don't charge
for INCOMING messages...at least my service with AT&T
doesn't...they only charge for text messaging that originates at a cell
phone, or via their web interface, online...so it may not be as expensive as you
fear...

Subject: [SA-list] Multiple AlertsI have several entries that I would like multiple alerts sent for.For example: When a certain service is down, send an alert. Also, send me an alert every 4 hours until it is resolved (back up).I configured the setting as: "When 1 times down and then every 48 down cycles". I am doing checks every 5 minutes.I would assume that if the service went down, I would get an alert and if the service stayed down for the next 4 hours, I would then get another alert that it was still down.However, with it configured this way, I get the alert every 5 minutes. I could deal with this if it were an email, but at $0.10 each to a cell phone, it adds up quick.Do I understand this option incorrectly? Is it broken, or is this how it should act with these settings?I am using version 4.10.1520.Thank youJeff
