The current code - i.e. RC4 plus the post-RC4 patch, plus the fix I
sent out yesterday to stop alerts from going off every minute -
should behave the way you want. As you say, it doesn't make sense to
get a recovery message when you didn't get the alert. I just tested it
to be absolutely certain it behaves, and it does.
If you're confused about what version you've got (quite
understandable): Unpack the hobbit-4.0-RC4 archive; grab the latest
post-RC4 patch (I updated it yesterday) from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/
and apply it with "cd hobbit-4.0-RC4; patch -p0 </tmp/post-RC4.patch"
copy over your Makefile from the old setup and run make, make install.
Sweet! Yeah, I rolled back the RC4 patch when it started paging every minute, and didn't get a chance to try with the fix. I'll download the latest post-RC4 patch and give it a shot.
