Try it like this:
ipaddr someserver # "DOWNTIME=*:2200:0730:Nightly Reboot"
Quoting the entire DOWNTIME tag is needed when specifying a reason. (at least it works for me)

Hello,
First thank you for the fantastic tool which I have been using for quite some time now.
I tried using DOWNTIME in bb-hosts instead of using TIME in hobbit-alerts to ignore alerting on some nightly reboots and inform operators via the info page what is going on.
DOWNTIME really appears to be a better approach, if I could make it work .
Though I've read some of the posts and documentation I think my configuration (below) is perhaps wrong as alerts are sent during the downtime window. Do I need to specify a service, or am I simply misunderstanding the concept?
Details below.
bb-hosts: ipaddr someserver # DOWNTIME=*:2200:0730:"Nightly Reboot"
hobbit-alerts.cfg: HOST=* SERVICE=conn SCRIPT page-primary.sh FORMAT=sms REPEAT=30 RECOVERED SCRIPT page-secondary.sh DURATION>60 FORMAT=sms REPEAT=60
also have the following to just spew email on everything.
HOST=* SCRIPT mail-primary.sh FORMAT=sms COLOR=red DURATION>6 REPEAT=60 SCRIPT mail-secondary.sh FORMAT=sms COLOR=red DURATION>60 REPEAT=60
page-primary.sh: /bin/mail -s "$BBSVCNAME $BBHOSTNAME $MACHIP" some-mail-addr at some-place.tld < /dev/null
notifications.log: Wed Jun 4 23:04:54 2008 someserver.conn (ipaddr) FORMAT=sms 1212645894 500 Wed Jun 4 23:04:54 2008 someserver.conn (ipaddr) DURATION>60 1212645894 500 Wed Jun 4 23:06:16 2008 someserver.conn (ipaddr) FORMAT=sms 1212645976 500 82
