'depends' directive in config files

[Gonzalo Perez Brun]

Mr. Scott:
          Sorry for asking this but, i need to figureout how this works. If I have a test1 for example, and test1 depends on test2. If the test1 falldown, test2 stop being tested and assume that is down too?
          Thanks.

Gonzalo.

It basically says the URL will only be considered down if the Ping for the depends object is up.  You can get the depends line from the top bar of any argus page or just grab the relevant parts from the address bar.
