Anyone got a patch for the 24-hour limit on ACKS? Or a script to invoke acknowledge.sh?

I've noticed that if I ack for more than a day the ack falls off after 5
minutes sometimes

Betsy,

Have you noticed any difference in success depending on how you're
specifying the duration? (eg, "1d" vs "24h", etc.?)

There's one "magic value" relating to a full day when we're generating the
ack code to begin with, but on walking through the module code I can't see
how it would cause an effect like this.


After the acknowledgement, the expiration time of the current one should
be displayed on the status page for that test. Can you confirm that the
pending date in those cases is what you'd expect it to be?

Sort of grasping at straws here. I'll keep digging in, but so far things
seem to be working correctly for me.

Regards,

My suspicion would be that the test briefly exits the bad state, or you
have a problem with a clock somewhere. One weird issue that I used to
have
is if I set acknowledgments too long (we are talking like 999 weeks),
IRIX
would expire them almost immediately. But that would not happen under
your
circumstance certainly.

our acks always always always seem to time out
what are we doing differently?

I have ack-by-email set up, and can send multi-day/week acks without a
problem.

It will only get cancelled if the test in question goes green however
briefly.

A disable will persist if it is set to expire at a certain time.

I have never found acks to have a 24 hour limit. Can anyone confirm
whether this is definitely true or not?

We've GOT to be able to ack alerts and have the ack survive the weekend.
(if I can call acknowledge.sh from perl I have a script that can scrape
the board and re-ack)
thank you!!
