Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but a quick search didn't answer my question.

I'm defining a new server-side test in `hobbitlaunch.cfg`. It's working as intended, except for one thing:

It doesn't need to run very often. I'm thinking every 6 hours or so. I've got it set to 1 hour now while I test things out and it keeps going purple about a minute before it runs again (and goes back to green). Is the INTERVAL supposed to be factored in when determining if something should be purple? If not, what do I need to do? A separate rule just for this test in `hobbit-alerts.cfg`? (I really hope not.)

bb hobbit "status+6h ..... " should get rid of the purple.  man bb for details

Thanks.
