[hobbit] Problem with TIME specification in hobbit-alerts.cfg?

[Peter Welter]

Not a solution, but to make sure an email is send when the SMS should
be sent as well: copy the SMS-rule below the original rule and change
the SCRIPT to a MAIL command. So if it is a TIME-related issue, the
email would not be send as well. So:

$SMS_SUPPORT=SCRIPT /Hobbit/server/ext/pg/smsalert support FORMAT=SMS
REPEAT=30 TIME=W:0800:0900,W:1700:2300,60:0800:2300 DURATION>5
RECOVERED NOTICE
$TST_SMS_SUPPORT=MAIL mailtest at address FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=30
TIME=W:0800:0900,W:1700:2300,60:0800:2300 DURATION>5 RECOVERED NOTICE

PAGE=<page> $ALERT_COLORS
         $SMS_SUPPORT
         $TST_SMS_SUPPORT
