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 ? ;)
