Re: [hobbit] How do you define days with "TIME" in the hobbit-alerts.cfg?

Per a paragraph or two below what I quoted, there's this, which answers your question:

If necessary, multiple periods can be specified. E.g. to monitor
a site 24x7, except between noon and 1 pm, use
NKTIME=*:0000:1159,*:1300:2359

The interval between starttime and endtime may cross midnight,
e.g. *:2330:0200 would be valid and have the same effect as
*:2330:2400,*:0000:0200. 

So, probably:

TIME=W:0700:2400,06:0000:2400

It might be a nice tweak to have 'E' for weekend, or something along those lines, in a future release.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Another question. Is it possible to do multiple TIME statements in one
alert? I'd like to get the alert 7-12 m-f and all day sat and sun. Know
if that's possible?

Hi James,

You probably want to look at the bb-hosts(5) man page (specifically the
NKTIME section).

  day-of-week: W means Mon-Fri ("weekdays"), * means all  days,  0
              ..  6  = Sunday .. Saturday.  Listing multiple days is
possible,
              e.g. "60" is valid meaning "Saturday and Sunday".


ie. you're probably after a specification such as:

TIME=W:0700:0000

Hope that helps,

regards,

Richard

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup my pager to alert me Monday - Friday, 7:00 -
24:00.
I understand how to set the hours, but how do you set the days? All
the examples I have seen with days in them, only list one day or *. To

do multiple days, do you use "," between the days? Can you use a range 

character? I have also seen Wednesday listed as W or 3 in the
examples, will either work?

TIME=1,2,3,4,5:700:2400 <---is that right?

Thanks,
James
