It's always worked for me.
Can you show us the line(s) that are the rule in and around line 122 of alerts.cfg?

I am seeing in the Alarm.log file that my REPEAT value in alarms.cfg is not being picked up.
:::Log::: 2012-09-24 18:52:16 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=720' at line 122
Man pages says REPEAT
How often an alert gets repeated. As with the DURATION setting, this is in minutes
So I was expecting 1 alarm and then it holds for 12 hours until alarms again for the same failure.
Has anyone had issues with this working as it should or may I have the syntax wrong?
