re-execute an event handler just in case the service stays DOWN

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

I would like one event handler to be re-executed just in case it
failed for the first time. The docs
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html) say "you
don't want that", but I am fairly confident that I want it in this case.

I have a nagios host in a unattended site which generally gets its
internet access from the site network. In case of a site network
failure, the host needs to dial in to the Internet via modem to be
reachable for debugging purposes.

The nagios installation monitors a host on the Internet and has an
event handler connected with this host which will initiate the dial-up
when the "Internet host" goes into a HARD DOWN state.

I would like this event handler to be re-executed in case the dial-up
connection doesn't come up or goes down _before_ nagios has detected
that the "Internet host" is UP again.

Is there any way to accomplish this or am I better of with a cronjob
which will initiate the dial-up from outside nagios?

Any hints will be appreciated.,

Greetings
Marc
