You will also have to deal with the purple that will result if you don't keep reporting the test to the server.<div>Steve<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 8:45 AM, Taylor Lewick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tlewick@tradebotsystems.com">tlewick@tradebotsystems.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. Is it possible to control the times an HTTP URL test is performed?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
I know I can add <a href="http://www.sample.com" target="_blank">http://www.sample.com</a> and use regexs to look for an occurrence of the word Fail, but we would only like it to check once or twice per day, say at 7:45 and then once more at 8:25. I know its easy to control the timing of when the alert is sent. But can I limit when the test is run? Short of creating an ext-script, not sure how I do that in xymon.<u></u><u></u></p>
