I have a SSH script sensor setup on a Linux box that monitors for certain conditions. When the sensor goes down, I would like it to run another script, periodically, until it achieves the desired result. Is this possible?

Hi there!
The only option I am aware of would be to use a Notification, triggered by a State Trigger, which then executes a program/script. I am afraid though that it won't be possible to re-run this script periodically by PRTG.
If you want to implement such Notification, please first copy your script into the "\Notifications\EXE" folder (standard path: C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Notifications\EXE). Afterwards please create a new notification (Setup | Account Settings | Notifications), choose "Execute Program" as an action and pick your script/program.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
