NAME

       xymonnet-again.sh - Xymon network re-test tool

SYNOPSIS

       xymonnet-again.sh

DESCRIPTION

       xymonnet-again.sh is an extension script for Xymon that runs on the network test server.  It picks up the
       failing network tests executed by the xymonnet(1) program, and repeats these tests  with  a  faster  test
       cycle than the normal xymonnet schedule. This means that when the server recovers and the network service
       becomes available again, this is detected quicker resulting in less reported downtime.

       Only tests whose first failure occurred within 30 minutes are included in  the  tests  that  are  run  by
       xymonnet-again.sh.   The 30 minute limit is there to avoid hosts that are down for longer periods of time
       to bog down xymonnet-again.sh.  You can change this limit with the "--frequenttestlimit=SECONDS" when you
       run xyxmonnet.

INSTALLATION

       This script runs by default from your tasks.cfg(5) file.
