In reponse to your post, I have tried specifying the time to be DOWN in
the
DOWNTIME synatx but that man page says just the opposite:

"E.g. to monitor a site 24x7, except between noon and 1 pm, use
DOWNTIME=*:0000:1159,*:1300:2359"

This statement puts in the time the system should be UP not DOWN...
Silly question, I assume but you are putting DOWNTIME on the host line?

e.g.

10.0.0.2  hostname # conn DOWNTIME=*:0200:0229

For my setup I only want working hours:

10.0.0.2 hostname # conn DOWNTIME=60:*:*,W:1800:0759

This excludes weekends and evenings (and works perfectly).

Malcolm
