Is there an appropriate variable to use in alert definitions to delay the first page, then repeat for a defined duration as desired?

Ex. For a particualr check, I don't want a page until the issue has bene ongoing for 4 hours, then I want to be paged/emailed once a day until recovery.

Use "DURATION>4h REPEAT=1d" on the appropriate rule ("HOST=..." or whatever rules you use), or on the recipient ("MAIL" or "SCRIPT").
