NAME

       bbretest-net.sh - Xymon network re-test tool

SYNOPSIS

       bbretest-net.sh

DESCRIPTION

       bbretest-net.sh	is  an extension script for Xymon that runs on the network test server.  It picks up the failing network tests executed by
       the bbtest-net(1) program, and repeats these tests with a faster test cycle than the normal bbtest-net schedule. This means that  when  the
       server recovers and the network service becomes available again, this is detected quicker resulting in less reported downtime.

       Only  tests  whose first failure occurred within 30 minutes are included in the tests that are run by bbretest-net.sh.  The 30 minute limit
       is there to avoid hosts that are down for longer periods of time to bog down bbretest-net.sh.  You can change this limit with  the  "--fre-
       quenttestlimit=SECONDS" when you run bbtest-net.

INSTALLATION

       This script runs by default from your hobbitlaunch.cfg(5) file.
