The DOWNTIME tag causes grief for a lot of people.  Not sure why.

Here is my working example:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359,W:1830:0730,6:0830:2359

Expect it to be down over the weekends and after hours.  This is
because the customer shuts the device off with a circuit breaker
"switch" when they're done for the day.

I'm using Xymon 4.2.3.

Unfortunately, the examples in the documentation don't actually cover
the most complicated case, where you define columns, have more than one
time period, and define a reason for the downtime.

Here's what I have:

"DOWNTIME=http:*:0530:0535:BANRECT Scheduled Instance
Restart,*:2030:2035:WFWSAPP Scheduled Instance Restart"

Looks good to me, according to these rules:

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

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I get this error in the
"hobbitd" test on my display machine:

Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'WFWSAPP Scheduled I'

Any help would be most appreciated. Looks like there might be a mistake
in the manual (or is there a typo there that I don't see?).
