I am having some difficulties with the STOP rules when an alert is triggered.  I have the following rule in my hobbit-alert file.

HOST=somehost.syr.edu
        MAIL user-96213c045646@xymon.invalid REPEAT=30m RECOVERED STOP
        MAIL user-6bd70174da6f@xymon.invalid REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS RECOVERED STOP

My understanding is that the alert module should alert me and the pager when the alert triggers.  However, it appears that when the alert module encounters the STOP keyword it stop processing the entire rule (instead of stopping only if the recipient has already been alerted).

Is this intended and if so how do I accomplish alerting two users for alert rules?

Note:  I was running beta6 when this problem occurred.  I have updated to 4.0.1 with the eventlog patch, so maybe its fixed there.

This is the intended behaviour - the "STOP" keyword is definitive.
I believe you should just remove the STOP keyword from the first
recipient line.

You are right - as usual and I figured that out last night right after I 
sent it.

Thanks for your help.
