#12: Failure Recovery Script Update


Date:  2-17-2005

Security Status:  N/A

Bugs:  Repeated Failure alerts were being sent when the failure had not repeated.

Explanation:
When services on the Phalanx stop, there is an automatic procedure to start them again.  On repeated failures this system sends an alert.  This alert was being sent on a second failure, but should have been sent after four failures occured in less than 15 minutes.
