Re: Service timeout action

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Thanks for the patch, we have actually already got one similar to this 
and rejected it. If we should change the timeout statement, which we 
should, we will want to do it general. The planed function which will 
replace the timeout statement is mentioned here, 
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/next.php#20. AFAIK, no one is 
working on this function, so you are very welcome to try and extend 
your patch and give it a stab.

With this statement you could say, "if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then 
unmonitor" which is exactly what the timeout statement does, or you 
could execute an action.
