Comment:

 This is fixed, the check was already in place, and weasel simply decreased
 the interval between runs from 15m to 2m.

 {{{
 07:35  weasel ) /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H
 bridges.torproject.org
                 -S --sni --string=bridge
 07:35  weasel ) so that?
 07:37  weasel ) what does it do when it's down?
 07:39   @isis ) weasel: that check doesn't work, which we discussed
 earlier
                 in this channel, because if it was expecting 200 OK there
                 is like 30s/30m that it wouldn't get it
 07:41  weasel ) I don't understand.  what would the check not get?
 07:43  weasel ) this check seems to return "OK" right now.
 07:43  weasel ) and when run regularly, will get OK most (if not even all)
                 of the time unless the service actually crashed.
 07:43  weasel ) is this not what we want?
 07:44   @isis ) that works okay by me
 07:44   @isis ) how often do you mean by 'regularly'?
 07:44   @isis ) every 1m?
 07:45  weasel ) more like every 5 or 10
 07:47  weasel ) aha.  seems our default check interval is 15.  retry check
                 interval is 2
 07:47   @isis ) :)
 07:47   @isis ) great!
