[hobbit] Command-line scheduled disable

[Alon Ofek]

I wondered if there is a way to schedule, for example, that a monitor will go disable last Sunday in every month.
My DB that is going down for cold backup and sometimes I forget to schedule the monitor disable so I have the support waking me up in the middle of the night :=)
Thanks,
Alon

There's a generic "schedule" command in the Hobbit protocol to do that.
You can put a "schedule TIMESTAMP" in front of any command and Hobbit will execute that command at the requested time. TIMESTAMP is a Unix epoch time (seconds since Jan 1 1970). So your command would be:

STARTTIME=`date +%s --date="$START_OF_DISABLE"` $BB $BBDISP "schedule $STARTTIME disable $MACHINE.$TEST $DURATION"

That is in fact how the scheduled enable/disable works when you use it via the Web GUI.
