RE: [hobbit] Recommendation on setting regular maintenance exclusion for reporting

["Jason Hand" <jason (at) hands4christ.org>]

These are a variety of monitored entities including windows machines and web
sites.

How would that work as you describe?  Do I just substitute the days,
"yourhobbitserver" with the name or localhost, "yourhobbitclient" with the
hostname of the client to disable, "60" with number of minutes to disable
it, and then the "Scheduled reboot" would be the cause?

And this cron job would run on the Hobbit server right?

Thanks ,
Jason

Set up a cron job to disable them at those times.
