Fellow Hobbit users,

 
I need a little help with something, it has stumped me...

 
I have two hosts on the same network, if one goes down. The other will
be down also because of a switch issue. I don't want to receive two
alerts. So I wrote in the depends tag, is this correct format???

 
192.168.192.20          toronto         # trace conn 

192.168.192.21          oriole           # trace conn
depends=(conn:toronto/conn)

 
If toronto is down and oriole is down, I just one one email alert.

 
Thanks for the help, michael
