My hobbitd status currently says:
"Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Database_Resync'"

I see nothing wrong with my syntax, the bb-hosts man page says:
DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause]

What am I doing wrong?  Also, is it possible to specify DOWNTIME per service? Because I do not want to put the entire host into maint mode, just the "procs", in this case.

This was the subject of another mail here a few days ago. Basically,
the code and the docs are not in sync. When you list a cause for the
downtime, you must also specify the tests that this applies to. So
for all tests, it would be DOWNTIME=*:*:0159:0400:Database_Resync
with the first "*" being the service.
