Hi friends,

I've seen on the bb-hosts example file on www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ the line:

0.0.0.0         osiris.hswn.dk		# dialup CLIENT:osiris
DOWNTIME=*:2300:2359,*:0000:0800 NOPROPRED:procs TIMEOUT:4:9


Does someone know what this tag "TIMEOUT:4:9 " do? What version of xymon?

Thanks in advance,

Mario.

It's in the manual. I believe it specifies a TTL on the message (so you
don't get paged for things that are supposed to happen once a day, etc.).

Thanks Ryan.

I could not find this specification on the bb-hosts manual.

Regards,

That's a mistake, actually. The TIMEOUT tag was deprecated around 
version 3 of bbgen (predecessor to hobbit, now Xymon).
