Hi Mike,

I had this problem too.
It seems, if you only have one scheduled downtime then spaces are no
problem but if you have more than one ... well it helps replacing the
spaces with underscores '_'. At least it worked for me and all scheduled
downtimes now show up on top of the info page.

I've got a server for which I want 2 different DOWNTIME schedules...one
for "cpu" and one for "procs".

The example on the hosts.cfg man page
(http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html)
indicates
that the proper syntax for DOWNTIME is:

DOWNTIME=columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause[,columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause]

Following that example, I've set it up like so:

<ip address> <hostname> # OS:aix
disk,files,cpu,memory,msgs,ports,procs
NOCOLUMNS:inode DOWNTIME=procs:*:2159:0030:"Nightly dwmain and dwstage
database backups",cpu:*:0000:2359:"CPU Utilization due to daily jobs"

But when I go to the info page, I see:

Planned downtime: All days:2159:0030 (status:procs) (cause:Nightly
dwmain
and dwstage database backups)

and at the bottom:

Other tags: OS:aix disk,files,cpu,memory,msgs,ports,procs
NOCOLUMNS:inode
,cpu:*:0000:2359:CPU Utilization due to daily jobs

Should I not see both parts of the DOWNTIME line in the "Planned
downtime"
area on the client's info page? I've noticed this behavior in both
4.3.15
and 4.3.16 (I'm only trying to add this multi-schedule for the first
time,
today).
Thanks, Torsten.

Did the schedules work, though, with the spaces in place (i.e. was it just
an issue with the aesthetics) or did putting the the underscores ("_") in
cause the schedule to properly function, too?

 Hi Mike,

 as far as I remember the schedules did not work. At least the second one
didn't.
 So it was more than an aesthetics issue.

 Cheers
