For now, I have a workaround by just putting the heartbeat action inside the monitor.
I'll give 'redistribute' a try. It looks a lot cleaner.
Thanks for the tip.

Try the current version of Mon from the sourceforge CVS repository. There
is a new config option, 'redistribute', which is configured on a service
(not inside a period) and runs an alert script on every status update. We
use this for sending mon traps between two mon servers, but it could be
used for your function just as easily.
(Though I just realized I need to add documentation for this option. I
thought I'd done that already...)
