[hobbit] Disabling alert nightly

[Josh Luthman]

Neither of these two complained:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday
DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,1:1930:0730:nightlyoff,2:1930:0730:nightlyoff,3:1930:0730:nightlyoff,4:1930:0730:nightlyoff,5:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

However that second one didn't disable the host, should it be as it is
obviously within that time frame?

Does anyone have a working example by chance?

Thanks for the suggestion, Allan!
