This is worse that I thought. I tried to turn off the alerts by adding
my own "else if passed then exec <something>" clause. While my exec does
get executed I still see the alerts on passed tests.

Q: Is there any relationships between timeouts and poll intervals? For
example, if my monitrc file has "set daemon 15" and I have a port check
rule with a timeout of 30 seconds, does my port check rule really wait
30 seconds or does monit see it failing every 15 seconds?
