Aw: Re: every cron cycles

Hi, David,

Thanks for pointing out that this should work. I should have tried before asking:

if status notequal 0 for 3 times within 5 cycles then alert

every "* 6-18 * * *"

every 3 cycles

Boom, it really works in monit 5.25.2. Older versions rejected this.

I have this working today:

check program example with path "/bin/true" every 5 cycles

if status != 0 for 2 cycles then alert

not every "30-40 4 * * *"

I think you should be able to change the "not every" to your need and it

work fine.
