Thanks, I will check into that. Nonetheless, it's still quite annoying
to have to check a message on my phone every 5 minutes. J

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 Alerts
I 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.
