This statement says we expect downtime between midnight and 11:59PM Sunday
(0th day of the week), then specifies the weekdays between 6:30PM and 7:30AM
(the following day) and gets as specific as Saturday (6th day of the week)
between 8:30AM and 11:59PM.

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

Confirmed working with 4.2.0 - no patches or updates

I think you want

DOWNTIME=*:0200:0230 - specifying all days of the week, between 2AM and
2:30AM we expect downtime.  Maybe you don't want an asterisk?

 Hi all!

I am still to this day having issues getting the DOWNTIME parameters to
work. I have tried everything under the sun but ultimetely i have fallen
back to what is written in the BB-Hosts Man page..

DOWNTIME=*:0000:0200,*:0230:2359

This basically says that the host is DOWN between 2AM and
2:30AM......Correct?

Kind of an @ssbackwards way of looking at it but from what i can gather,
you just specify the time the server should be UP...right?

Its not working...i still get alerts and the page still stays red..not blue
as expected...

I have also tried

DOWNTIME=*:0200:0230

but as expected...that fails as well..

Anybody have any insight into this...im sure im missing something stupid...

THANKS!
