timeout = 2 # each ping timeout in seconds
retries = 2 # how many ping retries
retry_wait = 60 # wait, in seconds, before each new ping retry
[reboot]
max_reboots_per_day = 3
reboot_cmd_nix = sudo /sbin/shutdown --no-wall --reboot +2 # unix like reboot command
reboot_cmd_win = shutdown /r /t 120 # windows reboot command
[pushover]
