advanced netwatch info?

In netwatch when you have a command in the down and up options, does the command run every time at the specified interval if the netwatch state up or down does not change? Or does it only run the command when the netwatch state changes?

Hi,

Netwatch checks the status of host at specified interval…If the host goes down it runs the down script and if it is up the run the UP script.

So once the host is gone down the netwatch will do nothing until its back up again? Or would it run the command each time the ping times out?

Once the host goes down netwatch check the status of Host via Ping and run the down script.
