[Xymon] Anyone got a patch for the 24-hour limit on ACKS? Or a script to invoke acknowledge.sh?

[Novosielski, Ryan]

My suspicion would be that the test briefly exits the bad state, or you have a problem with a clock somewhere. One weird issue that I used to have is if I set acknowledgments too long (we are talking like 999 weeks), IRIX would expire them almost immediately. But that would not happen under your circumstance certainly.

I have ack-by-email set up, and can send multi-day/week acks without a problem.

It will only get cancelled if the test in question goes green however briefly.

A disable will persist if it is set to expire at a certain time.

I have never found acks to have a 24 hour limit. Can anyone confirm whether this is definitely true or not?

We've GOT to be able to ack alerts and have the ack survive the weekend.
(if I can call acknowledge.sh from perl I have a script that can scrape the board and re-ack)
thank you!!
