In reponse to your post, I have tried specifying the time to be DOWN in the DOWNTIME synatx but that man page says just the opposite:
"E.g. to monitor a site 24x7, except between noon and 1 pm, use DOWNTIME=*:0000:1159,*:1300:2359"
This statement puts in the time the system should be UP not DOWN...
Silly question, I assume but you are putting DOWNTIME on the host line?
e.g.
10.0.0.2 hostname # conn DOWNTIME=*:0200:0229
For my setup I only want working hours:
10.0.0.2 hostname # conn DOWNTIME=60:*:*,W:1800:0759
This excludes weekends and evenings (and works perfectly).
