email alert only after duration

[Fredrik Wänglund]

You can use the parameters 'retry_check_interval' and 
'max_check_attempts'. If, for example 'retry_check_interval' is set to 1 
and 'max_check_attempts' is set to 3, the alert will be delayed three 
minutes (The CPU-load must results in a warning or critical state during 
the whole period)
