[hobbit] Disabling alert nightly

Fri May 2 16:23:37 CEST 2008

Strange...I am going to try out:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,W:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

tonight as Henrik suggested (which to my understand is just a shorter
version).  The host in question is definitely down between those times and
was down this morning at 2AM when I was watching it.  Thing still wouldn't
go blue, hmm...

Thanks for the help guys, I'll let you know what happens probably on Sunday.
