I have event handlers that will not run if a lock file is present (cause i am deploying code or so other scripts do not step on each other). So I for this service that I monitor every minute, I have Max Retries set to 3, Check Interval is 1, and retry interval is 1. Can someone help shed some light on how I can get an event handler to run again after a service has gone into a hard state?

The other possibility for having something run every time the service is
checked, is to configure your ocsp_command.
Not exactly what it's generally used for, but it'll do in a pinch.
