Description Voltairien 2005-10-06 02:18:10 UTC

On startup, mon initializes the _1stfailtime variable to 0 for any
periods which are configured for alertafter <time interval>.
Subsequently, when a failure occurs, this variable gets set to the
current UNIX timestamp.  When the (current time - the 1stfailtime)
exceeds the configured time interval, a DOWN alert is thrown.

Problem is, since 1stfailtime is never cleared, ever subsequent
failure will cause a DOWN alert to be thrown immediately, because
1stfailtime is past the current time - <time interval>.

The patch has been publish in the mailing list by Adrian Chung the Thu, 05 Dec
2002 06:44:18 -0800, but never apply to portage.
