# Sample configuration file for ICMPmonitor.

# Each host entry requires a unique label.
[Example - localhost]

# Remote host, either an IP address or fully-qualified hostname.

# Ping interval.
interval = 2

# Grace period for missed pings before executing 'down_cmd'.

# Command to execute when host fails to respond for longer than 'max_delay'.

# Should ICMPmonitor consider the host to be 'down' or 'up' upon startup?

[A second example]
