I just say "REPEAT=365d".  Annual renotification is fine with me for
those really long-lasting problems!  I don't care much about how
"professional" it looks.  For me, 365d is actually clearer than 0.  One
would probably assume that 0 means "no repeats", but an assumption is
still the first step towards a screw up, and I prefer the unambiguous
365d setting myself.

Thought so - if you do not specify a REPEAT argument it defaults to one
hours time.  Even on the info page it reads "-" under the repeat column

(hopefully not too soon - customers are not pleased with downtime =)

		If you leave out the REPEAT entirely, it is assumed you
don't get repeating messages, if I recall correctly.  That's how we have
it configured for a couple of our customers' alerts.

		Right now I have this line:
		
		  MAIL user-4c45a83f15cb@xymon.invalid COLOR=RED
DURATION>15m REPEAT=0 RECOVERED
		
		What I was expecting out of that was for the REPEAT to
simply not work - it is still repeating the messages every few minutes
=(  If I have to, I can all back on repeating every 24h or something
ridiculous, but I'd like a more "professional" value!
