RE: [hobbit] Disabling alert nightly

["Dugan, Darin D [EIT]" <dddugan (at) iastate.edu>]

If memory serves, when I was configuring DOWNTIME I found that if you specify the optional reason you must also specify the optional service. Could be mistaken, of course...this is what works for me:

 

DOWNTIME=*:6:0125:0225:"reason goes here"

 

Cheers.

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!

The only thing I can think is the * overides/conflicts with the individual day entries and it doesnt like this ?

What if you leave it with just the Saturday and Sunday Entries ?

Info page says:
All days:1930:0730:nightlyoff, Sat:0830:2359:OffSaturday, Sun:0000:2359:OffSunday

But hobbitd is complaining:
Latest errormessages:
Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 1930:0730:nightlyoff
Is there something wrong with the *?

   6:0000:2359:OffSunday <--that is my only question before I try it
   - shouldn't it be 6 for Sunday and 5 for Saturday?

       Test this :
       DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason,5:0000:2359:OffSaturday,5:0000:2359:OffSunday

       What do you think about this one ? ;)
