Hi,

the 1.x series is quite deprecated by now; please try the latest 2.x
version (currently 2.0.5). I don't remember seeing this particular
bug, but there have been several changes to the alert code and
last I checked, the alerts were working for me.

If the problem persists, please include the output of 'smokeping -debug'
along with your configuration file.

If you want to stay with the old version, you'll have to debug this
yourself. A good start is still 'smokeping -debug' and possibly running
strace (or truss or trace or whatever your OS calls it) on the stalled
daemon to see if it's eg. waiting for some child process to finish.

Cheers,
