Currently, you can set anything but the time of day.

$ bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test
2005-05-26 08:18:17 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Usage: hobbitd_alert --test HOST SERVICE [PAGE [duration [color]]]

I'm about to remove the "PAGE" parameter, since it is now 
automatically detected from the bb-hosts file.

I'll see if I can get a time-parameter in there. It's not difficult,
it's just a lot of places that need changing to use a custom routine
to get the current system time, instead of the normal one.
