[smokeping-users] curl probe with alerts

[Keith Pawson]

Thanks that's what I was looking for, but in the end I've actually 
configured EchoPingHttp probe which is working out really well so far.
Also, thanks for the tip of looking into the Smokeping.pm file too, 
didn't think of doing that.

Would be good to have some more examples in the doco for things like 
this as well, just a suggestion for when the doco get's revised or 
updated :-)

Thanks again!
