Send monit alert at most once in Linux?

My script to send sms #send-sms.sh curl "http://10.10.10.10:1084/somerandomhexcode&username=username@goes.here&password=passwordgOesHere&countryCode=countrycodegoeshere&mobileNumber=%2bphone_number_with_country_code_goes_here&message=message_goes_here " I've tested this script independently and it sends SMS successfully. My monit config to check if a certain glassfish domain is down: check host DOMAIN_I_WANT_TO_CHECK with address 127.0.0.1 if failed port 10080 then exec "/root/send-sms.sh" send-sms.sh is executable with chmod 777. Imagine a scenario where the server goes down at 11 PM till 5AM, and alert keeps going every 60 seconds. It'll be an absolute nightmare. How do I avoid such scenarios?
