If memory serves, when I was configuring DOWNTIME I found that if you specify the optional reason you must also specify the optional service. Could be mistaken, of course...this is what works for me:

 
DOWNTIME=*:6:0125:0225:"reason goes here"

 
Cheers.

Neither of these two complained:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday
DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,1:1930:0730:nightlyoff,2:1930:0730:nightlyoff,3:1930:0730:nightlyoff,4:1930:0730:nightlyoff,5:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

However that second one didn't disable the host, should it be as it is obviously within that time frame?

Does anyone have a working example by chance?

Thanks for the suggestion, Allan!

The only thing I can think is the * overides/conflicts with the individual day entries and it doesnt like this ?

What if you leave it with just the Saturday and Sunday Entries ?

I am having some issues with this one...
DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday,0:0000:2359:OffSunday

Info page says:
All days:1930:0730:nightlyoff, Sat:0830:2359:OffSaturday, Sun:0000:2359:OffSunday

But hobbitd is complaining:
Latest errormessages:
Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 1930:0730:nightlyoff
Is there something wrong with the *?

   6:0000:2359:OffSunday <--that is my only question before I try it
   - shouldn't it be 6 for Sunday and 5 for Saturday?

LMJ,

Excellent! That answers half my question - but now I need to
       disable it all
day on the weekends; can you have two time frames in one
       downtime statement?

I have a device that shuts down at 7:30pm and comes back
       up at 7:30am. What
is the best way to disable this host every single night?
I would like it to be marked as disabled during this
       time, but I definitely
do not want the bb.html, bb2.html and bb.wml showing up
       red - red is bad!  I
also need it to stop sending email alerts.

Would DOWNTIME= be what am I looking for?  If so can
       someone explain how the
       day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] gets
       filled it?
I need it to be every weekday in the evenings and nights
       as well as every weekend.
I had almost the same issue : do not display databases
       connection errors during the night backup, here we
go :

 ip.ip.ip.ip   name    # conn foo bar    NAME:"Nice Name"
       DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason
 That's it ;)
       Test this :
       DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason,5:0000:2359:OffSaturday,5:0000:2359:OffSunday

       What do you think about this one ? ;)
