I believe it is the same as UNIX:

0 - 6   0 = Sunday
	  1 = Monday
	  2 = Tuesday
	  3 = Wednesday
	  4 = Thursday
	  5 = Friday
	  6 = Saturday
	  * = All Days

         Thanks,

Subject: [hobbit] hobbit_alerts.cfg IGNORE TIME

Greetings all,

I have been trying to figure this out and I think I am missing something
real obvious.

I am trying to ignore an event when a series of servers do some backups
and the http test gets triggered for a second Sunday Morning at 3:35AM
or 0835UTC.

Here is the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 COLOR=red SERVICE=http
        IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845

But I get still get paged.

Here is what I get when I run:

./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test S1 http

00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Matching host:service:page 'S1:http:'
against rule line 81
2009-12-29 18:02:45 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays):
7:0830:0845
00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Failed 'IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4
SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845' (time criteria)

In the hobbit manual there is an example that shows a similar rule set
for Thursday using day 4:0000:0000 so I believe Sunday should be day 7?
If I change the day to 6 I don't get that error in the --test output.

Thanks and HNY!
