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

[R. Leyton]

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

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.
